Jade Dependel

YAAAAY I finally figured out how the bloody SSS Physical Material in mental ray works!!!!!!!!!! I've been trying for ages to make something out of it, and now I finally did! It's the most awesome material ever man. To test it, I made some kind of jade-like material and applied it on the revised Dependel.

FRIGGIN SW333T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!
holy crap that is awesome, id swear that was a real thingy!!!

That's just plain awesome.

bush? pretty nice but it looks a bit plasticy. not sure y.

Hehe thats pretty funky, looks ike plastic-jelly-stuff though... You should totally model bones in that that are visible through the stuff :P

lol internal organs

how is this wizardry accomplished??

I thought it was an actual object when I first looked at it.

yeah same, except that its a bit "card board cut-outy" if u know what i mean, although u probabley dont, coz u all think im crazy, so ill explain

it looks a bit like something u use the cardboard cutout filter on PS, how its got big spaces of basicly same colour (like on the head)

Looks awesome. I'm with erwt, go for bones that are visible through the body :)

no honestly how IS this wizardry acomplished?

I said in the first post: with the SSS Physical Material for mental ray.

The edges are a bit rough, not as smooth as they should be.
And for some reason, something with the lighting makes it look like.. not jade to me.

Edit: I guess jade is a bit more matte and less transparent. More gloss, less shine.

oh I beg to differ:

Now that would be pretty intense :P
