slimy tentacles / SSS Research and Materials

[Thomaskl]

COOL MAN !
That`s what i wanted to see. These results are really the best of all the results here in that thread. Working very well on this model. I have to do some tests, at once !


Congrats man - you`ve cracked up the SSS Nut in Z !

Regrads,
Thomaskl

Thats freaking wonderfull, Jantim, Thanks to sare too!


You should work on a SSS skin material, would be freaking great!


Thanks again man!

[smileman]

woarg great rendering, its a cgrendering ,post it !!!!

[Tidalias]

Whoa! Simply Superb Skills- THAT's that SSS stands for!
Thanks so much for sharing such a cool shader and for the tips, Jantim!

Thomaskl : Yes, the results of the rendering have a lot to do with the sort of model-a nice combination of sharp and round curves- and the render and material settings !...in Vray it must be more technical do do the rendersettings
in ZBrush you need more of a good eye for harmonious settings...like they advertise : "its a tool made for artists ,by artists" .
And to be honest, i don't know anything about the sort of renderengine that's used by ZBrush, in a technical way i mean !

lemonnado : Thanks !

Sebcesoir : A skinmaterial..i alway's use Sokar's material ..and i have a feeling that a good texturemap does the trick better then a material..but now i have been thinking in using a texturemap in one specific color, in combination with a material..the settings of a material sometimes reduce or enhace the colors used on texturemaps !..perhaps this could be a new angle ?

smileman : If i had made the material AND the model ..perhaps,..

Tidalias : Happy, you found it to be of interest to you..thats what the forum is all about !

Many thanks to all for this thread! Great last render, Jantim!

[jantim]

Thanks, Erklaerbar .....one more for the road !
....and i hope Thomaskl, that you will not be disapointed that i not realy "cracked" the nut of SSS-shading !...that can't be done in ZBrush..but you can get the "look" of a SSS-render !



here i tweaked the setting to get a nice jade !

Jantim...u working for that material nobel award or what...
You take the cup!

[Thomaskl]

I do know, that you cant do real SSS in Zbrush....but knowing how to work-around is the reason, why we`re paid for our job ;-)

Jantim does it again.......(!)

The material is called Meat_Glass? Sweet....

The material is called Meat_Glass? Sweet....

Yep ,Meats...i kept my promise : "i would name a material after u, and u would send me your latest Gnomon-Dvd " ..i'm very interested in your last one...i think you explain how to make materials in ZBrush..
