Looking for tutorials and / or sample-scenes for subsurface scattering

[Sascha Selent]

Hi everyone.

I´m trying to get in the subsurface scattering with VRay, but I´m not very successful. I tried the VRayMtl and the VRayFastSSS, but I do not get nice results.

I also did Search > subsurface, but I didn´t get results explaining SSS in depth or providing good examples.

So maybe it´s possible to provide some tutorials or links to tutorials.

It would also be great if some good examples could be provided showing up material- and render-settings for SSS.

Vlado, I think you may have some nice examples? I found your dragon-example, maybe this scene or scenes kind of this could be shared?

Thank you.

Yes, thank you. I appreciate this. I´ll examin these materials.

But I´m also looking for some "real-life"-examples, not only this material-sample-scenes.

Any ideas?

There are a number of ways to get light scattering inside objects with V-Ray:

(*) VRayMtl with translucency (good for candles, porcelain, marble etc);
(*) VRay2SidedMtl material (good for cloth, paper, grapes etc);
(*) VRayFastSSS material (could be useful for skin);

For example, the following scene uses VRayMtl for the candle and the fruit cup, and VRay2SidedMtl material for the grapes and the leaves:

Thanks you for answering, Vlado. I´m hunting for the settings of the pro´s.

For example, the following scene...

Any chance to get this max-file for examination?

Best regards.

I will have to ask (the scene was not made by me).

2Sided to do *those* grapes? Wow... unbelievable O_O. Really, I would have never tried to use 2Sided for anything thick. Cool scene.
