      If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

              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.

                OK, I couldn't let it sit with my previous complaint about Kerkythea, so here's another attempt. Tried to get a cloudy emerald rock-crystal look to it. Might've done better with a reflection environment, but I forgot about it and have already let it run overnight.

                    Tried an experiment. Copied the dragon, pasted it in place, scaled one copy down by 10%, placed it inside the other dragon to give it a real subsurface, assigned the outer skin a transparent material, and the inner a green translucent material. Didn't turn out like I expected, but was fun.

                        Hmm, if the IoR is the same it may have negated the effect. Perhaps applying a mild fresnel effect to the outer layer?

                                    Well, since I'm really new to this I'm just trying different ideas to see what happens. Nothing scientific to my approach, but I'll share as best I can.bowl,dome.JPG
                                    Dragon sits in the bowl: high reflective template
                                    Dome goes on top for the render:diamond glass
                                    spotlights as shown

                                    Spherical sky, no sun, HDRIlights.JPG
                                    Two small red omnis, nose& throat
                                    skinny spotlight on tongue
                                    tiny orange omni eye

                                    started with rubber ball material and tweaked :material.JPG

                                    SU fog on
                                    TW preset #9

                                    That covers most of it I think.
                                    Lots of great images here folks......keep 'em coming.
