SSS Tentacles

[mcphep]

it really is disgusting!! good job

rendertimes..... whenever I am down about my own I do a search and come across ones like 9 hours and then I don't feel so bad. If only I didn't have to animate as well

Re:

Rendertime suddenly explodes (in Pre-Pass Period) by just switching to 100 pixels bigger image...

i just stumbled across this one, it may help in case you're using 3d displacement:

rivoli:
he was the one who started that thread asking for help..
And that thread was about the same scene as the one in this thread

[rivoli]

well, i guess i should start reading threads from the beginning.

[DaForce]

that would be a good "start" especially on short threads like these.

[RE:FORM_STUDIOS]

Any chance of posting your render settings?

Hey Guys

thx for the nice feedback so far,

Well, i posted the image at Zbrush Central ( http://www.pixolator.com ), too and it became quite an intresting thread there. The guys over there are currently trying to create a SSS-fake-like material within Zbrush. I posted a test-szene of the material and rendersettings inside this thread. I used Zbrush to add detail to the tentacles, and now the Zbrush-Guys are trying to match a quite similar Zbrush-Material.
Nice to see them making progress. They won`t be able to match the fotorealistic v-ray look in Zbrush, but it`s an excellent research in doing SSS and by what kind of factors the SSS Look is made of .
Take a look at the thread at :

Here is an early rendering the tentacles without heavy displacement:
