      This one came out great IMO, it's a waxy type material, the extra back lighting really made it pop.

          WOW...these are all amazing. Love the blue rubber Remus (and Jeff). Here's "light side" angle of my previous on a Jade material stand.

              Here's my problem -

              Place model in 'Basic Studio' with Omni Light behind model

              Apply SSS material to model (Red Gum)

              Sunlight Disabled

              Sky Type - Background Color (Black)

              Render at Medium+ (Still Cooking after 30mins)

              Vista64bit - AMD Turion X2 Dual Core - 4GB

              When i cooked at lower presets the model was very dark? Do i need to up light size?

                Here's a try with the dragon in vray using an SSS sssnake ssskin material applied to the refraction channel.

                And another without the skin bitmap.

                  So far I've only been playing with Vue, I am yet to try Twilight for SSS, I know Miguel (Ecuadorian) has done some tests over at Twilight successfully. I would guess that using Twilight in conjunction with Kerkythea for the advanced material editing that you will get great results.

                  I will give Twilight a try later and hopefully I can figure it and and if I do I will see if I can help further.

                  However, try adding another point light behind camera also

                    The Low, Med, High presets, being biased, don't do nearly as good a job at SSS as the unbiased methods. They have to make approximations and assumptions which can turn out quite well sometimes, but with complicated organic shapes you aren't going to get as good of results. At at the really low end, with Low or Low+, you may not actually get any results from SSS and translucency because those are designed for higher speed.

                      Here's my problem - ...

                      The red rubber dragon I posted above was done in Twilight. I just used the SSS Rubber Ball right out of the box. It's done with Interior +, so that's probably the difference.

                      This is Twilight also.

                        Avariant..iridescent one is fantastic. Really good showing from Twilight.

                        Last one from me. Added some displacement in the mix.

                                  A couple of lazy attempts with just Twilight library materials:

                                  Milk:

                                  And blue gum. Indigo and Maxwell beat Twilight big time when it comes to blue gum/rubber. 😞

                                      Rich, here is my setup, see I have 3 lights behind and one in front, I rendered using preset #9

                                      I used the studio setup, painted black, I have no sun and a black background.

                                            Fantastic renders, guys! This is so cool 😎

                                            Using Twilight, I also had the same problem as Rich, I started using the Low and Medium presets and it was taking forever, but I'm getting much better results after switching to #10 - Interior+ (but not good enough to post here yet)
