Re. skin, a face isnt really possible to render at practical speeds, but this might work for a hand. Cant resist posting, made it last month, (2.7 renders this fast ) creepy huh?



There is an animation called 'Alma' which has a great cartoony look. I wouldnt try and render a photoreal face in maxwell or any software actually. I know there are some great attempts esp Lee Perry's but they dont hold up as the lighting changes, ofcourse with enough motion blur and post the render doesnt need to be perfect, and for stills photoshop is a great solution.

In general if your learning about SSS its worth just messing about with using the small-preview interactively, and try to concentrate on whats possible, because thats hard enough. Skin is next to impossible and plastic is very slow to work with, I would avoid both while learning.

Yes. Actually I worked on that shortfilm as the character technical director,not in rendering. I do rendering only for my personal projects,not professionally. About Alma we send the renders to a rend farm, and even with that it took ages to render. It looked nice in the end.Right now, it seems that animation with maxwell render is only possible with a farm render behind.
Ok then, SSS imposible then. Got it.
