Here guys!
This is Trevor, the alien. And he hails from… umm… Arkansas.
Yeah,
Made starting from a cube with the new sculp tool. And then lit quickly and SSS’d (is that even a verb? Oh well, it is now) it using the Spot-With-Biased-Shadows Method.
Whaddya think?
That’s a pretty good fake of SSS
Hello,
Very good fake SSS, it’s just “magic” :).
can you share please, it’ll be very interesting to test this effect.
thanks.
Absolutely! thanks for the replys guys!
Here is a video tutorial made by Geneome:

And here is a paper by dedalo 3d expressing two ways you could acheive this effect, one with nodes:

Have fun!
I love this material! I was about to ignore any new post with th words “fake sss test” on it because they were mostly crap but this is such a nice material!
I’m really glad you guys like it!
I tried to change the title of the thread, but couldn’t figure out how!
Umm, any input?
…
Heh, nevermind, sorry, you just click the edit button twice.
First thing I thought when I saw this: fresnel shader. I don’t think nodes are really neccissary to get this…
Actually, I’m not using nodes for this effect, just spot lights and soft shadows, and a toon shader, you can see it all in the video link I posted from geneome.net.
Hmm, in my experience I don’t think you can acheive the affect of actual volume in a surface with a fresnel shader. But I would like to know if you can! if you can show us and example please post it here! thanks!
freaky…:eek:
Dude, nice effect! And a good sculpt model…
wait… scult tool?
/me looks around frantically clicking on buttons in blender…
I see no sculpt tool!?
Hey!
Go here: http://download.blender.org/release/Blender2.43rc/
and download the latest build for your OS, the sculp tool is actually a mode, so like where you would enter UV mapping mode and such, you enter sculpt mode. If you want to find out how to use it, you can look on blendernation.com, or you can go to blender3dtutorials.com and search sculpt. I’m sure it will give you plenty of info.
Good luck!
