Will be the early build available before or after the webinar ? Thanks.

Was just watching the Youtube video of the new Multilight and in the comments it was said, from the team, that the beta will be available next week.

nice

Would love to see some SSS improvement samples/comparisons;)

...and new beta on early build page

Nice. Including the Q&A at the end.

They asked some things I was wondering about, myself.

The waiting is over

Finally ; 3.1.99.9

Important reminder: Please note that the new V3.2 beta is not compatible with older versions of Maxwell.

For full compatibility you will also need to update the main Maxwell Render installer and the corresponding V3.2 plugins.

Some very basic experimentation, just to start to get the hang of it.

Wizard SSS materials: honey, red wax, silicone gel

I'm not sure these dark boundaries (second image from top) are what I would have expected, especially for the honey/silicone gel border, but maybe that's correct based on how much light is reaching there?

[jfrancis]

A little more testing. I particularly wanted to see what would happen if the horizontal planes of two boxes were coincident in places.

[jfrancis]

Is this the "trick" Mihai was referring to before?

[Mihai]

Bingo!

Thanks for posting these tests, looks like the SSS/Glass scenario works ok but it seems there can still be problems if surfaces are coplanar.

[tom]

Yes, coplanar surfaces are not supported with this method. In other words, don't do it.

Rendertime boolean using nested is fun! Remember you can use it with any material, not only dielectrics. So, it's very powerful when you need complicated cross-section renders without hollow walls.

[jfrancis]

Would it be possible to add general rendertime Booleans?

I suppose the next question would be is it possible to smooth the slope discontinuity where the shapes meet at rendertime if desired?

[eric nixon]

Hello forum, its been a while since I posted here... (my pc was on-site for a couple of months, for a project)

Couple of 3.2 boolean tests;

red glass (priority 2), clear glass swirls (priority 1), swisscheese air holes (priority 0)



and one with white sss swirls, I'm seeing that roughness 0 messes up these materials, they lose the attenuation (issue is not related to booleans)



Using an 'air' material to boolean is pretty neat, but the material will block diffuse light (just like any transmissive can come up against the caustics of caustics issue). i.e. I tried to boolean holes out of the white sss material but the holes turned dark grey. Obviously it works with glass as in the first render, because the glass appearance wont be affected by the lack of GI.
