I mean, the fact that you can hold a flash light against your hand and see light through your skin, what is this called in non CG real world terms?.. I was thinking that people who study jelly fish would have a word..?I would call it 'translucency' when talking to non-CG people.Matt

Quote from: Hannes on December 04, 2014, 08:23:28 AMIt's interesting that the "inner head" can be made invisible and even set to not casting shadows (!) for keeping the object from poking through accidentally, and still does his job. Sounds illogically, but as long as it works...

Sounds illogically, but as long as it works...This works because the inner object only needs to block GI so that the GI cache doesn't receive light from the other side of the object. The inner object only needs to be visible to "other rays" to affect/block the GI.Matt

Quote from: j meyer on December 05, 2014, 10:58:37 AMHannes,what do you mean by make the model invisble?Unchecking enable or setting the opacity to zero does notwork like you described.Did you set it to invisible on the drop down menu?
Quote from: TheBadger on December 05, 2014, 01:18:55 PMIt may also help you guys if you give the model a more real skin color. The very orange color may be hurting the effect causing any flaw to be stronger.
Quote from: Hannes on December 05, 2014, 03:50:16 PMAt least on my monitors the skin doesn't look too orange. What do the others say? If so, it shouldn't be too difficult to tune the diffuse color image.
