Another sss piece

[Bandar]

I spent the last night with indigo_07

Here is the first result:

Cool, are you a TopMod user ?

I have some difficulty to read the shape clearly, like its merging into some transparency... I can see there is sss but my concern is different... you got me ?

[Bandar]

Yep, that's TopMod.

Here is the blend to explore: http://butz-e-matic.de/pix/topmod_test3.blend

The transparency is due to my ignorance how all the values effect the new materialsystem.

Here is another version, that is less transparent:



And this might be the material that I used for the 2nd picture (don't remember, if i changed it in the meantime):

Code: Select all

	<medium>

That is just beautiful.

Thanks for the code+file, I've found a scene that crashes in wine with those mats, but doesn't with yours.

Very nice especially the second one, top notch !!!

and thanks for the code

And another one



I will post a png with higher res to the gallery...

And here are the material settings:

Code: Select all

          			  <rgb>0 0.45 0.5</rgb> 
        		              </rgb>

WOW...
that's just an amazing material!
congrats!

[Bandar]

And congrats + 100000 thanks to you for coding that incredible renderer!

[manitwo]

incredible!

Code: Select all

...
			<phase_function>
			        <uniform><value>40</value></uniform>
			</phase_function>
...

What does "value" do in the phase function?
