    My attempt on the dragon...Thanks for starting this thread, Pete, I've learned so much and the subjects are so fun that I'm really excited to render them πŸ‘ ...oh, and the amazing images are an incentive as well

    Twilight Render, White Wax Library material I think, #10 preset - I stopped cooking after 8 hours (this SSS is killing my poor laptop) πŸ’š

    Say, is there a way to change the library colors in Twilight, or to I have to do that in Kerkythea?

        These are fun, and some excellent renders as well as some great learning.
        We may not need SSS on a daily basis, but on the off chance we do, we now have learned how it can be achieved.
        So we have covered studios, SSS, what next you ask....

        Keep an eye out for the next learning challenge, one a little more relevant.

                Thomas, I promise to make that the next challenge, do you have a great model to share?
                Or should I make one?

                  hm... "great" ... meh!

                  I made a model of an LED. Attached that one - you can have a look.
                  And I also attached the space invader scene.

                                Thanks for the help Miguel, I believe it is a bit of a touchy subject to discuss the differences between rendering systems.

                                I'm sure KT can do sss but I can't. (I will keep trying.)

                                Since I am new to the rendering world and I have read on this forum that different systems have different advantages/disadvantages, can users tell when a system is unsuited for a particular task?

                                Not trying to start a fight but sometimes I think I need several rendering systems to get a "particular" look for a "particular" image.

                                But I could also just suck at rendering...

                                thanks Miguel for the help!

                                  Kerkythea. As previously mentioned, not the best solution for SSS.

                                    I didn't say Kerkythea was not good for SSS. It's just that it's not easy to create an SSS material from scratch. Kerkythea has a lot of untapped power. πŸ˜„

                                      Eh, I guess what I wrote does imply Kerky stinks- but that's not what I meant. You've pretty much summed it up, it's just a pain to get SSS to look good in Kerky; if I put some serious effort into it it'd probably look better. Despite the limitations Kerky has, it's still my favorite rendering engine.

                                        You don't get much of an impression of SSS, but here's my attempt with indigo. Couldn't bake it very long though 😞
