Everybody - let's not base anything on past knowledge or experiments, as I have now contradicted my earlier tests during beta. I don't know or care what passed before, but SR1 has a problem with scatter and interior occlusion.

Here is a sphere with Skin1-type scatter.

Inside are two smaller spheres. One has white .8 diffuse, the other has marble-type scatter.

Is there anybody who cannot tell where the two inner spheres are? I doubt it.

Is there anybody who can tell which inner sphere has scatter and which does not? I doubt that, too.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
