          That's neat Jeff - the ice turned out really good - it even looks "frosty" where its thinner in the mouth 😉

                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. 😄

                      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 😞

                            I can't believe I was about to do a Google search for "MyHand 1.5".

                            Some quick Kerkythea experiments. The 0.50 one cooked for longer.

                                            That looks yummy, TBG.

                                            Move on, Pete? But SSS is like DOF; it's LOF = Lots Of Fun. Besides, I prefer to just lurk the water fountain thread for a while as everybody is giving away great ideas and I still can't come up with a practical one.
