Hello Stefano, I don’t remember the name of the author, but I’m sure that it will be easy for you to explain everything if you open the sss.blend file :smiley:

I don’t understand why this is what happen if I delete all the lights:

Thank you

the material has an emit value from blend textures, thats why its still lit when all lights are gone… as for the empties, they are linked to the textures in the materials of the object…move the empties and you’ll see it affects the material.

i believe it was meant as an example of a semi translucent plastic material

hope this is clear and helps

ok
Thank you
