              Just a very quick test with Maxwell 2.0 Standard SSS Honey material for the box and a concentric steel for the ball with physical sky.

                                    When I saw some of the images I just had a crack at it - couldnt believe it when it came out and it wsnt black - where do you guys get all the fabulous materials and how do you store them (what format)

                                      Dermot and Tallguy, nice job rendering, although you are lacking any visible sub surface scattering. The idea behind the thread was to display your favorite render engines ability to perform a SSS (subsurface scatter), which is namely the scattering of light below the surface of a material. Light will usually either pass through an object completely (transparency), pass through and bend (refraction), bounce off (reflection), or absorb (sub surface scattering). SSS is dependent upon the physical density of an object and it physical rate of light absorption. Things in the physical world that exhibit this behavior are wax, soap, skin, milk, plastic, etc. If you notice in all of Solo's renders, you can vaguely see where the light has passed through the outer cube and shown a hint of the sphere within.

                                      It looks like you guys are using Twilight. Try using a SSS template with your materials and use spot lights or emitter lights instead of the physical sky. This will give a concentrated light source which the render engine can use to glean enough direct light bounces to perform the SSS.

                                      Here's a quick test with Fryrender....emitter within SSS.

                                          THanks obviously I am way off track here. I will try to figure out the SSS system using kerkythea.

                                          Thanks for pointing it out to me. I'm still not sure how to do it but I will try and figure out.

                                          Oh well sorry to clog the thread.
