WxPython should work!

Is this a tkinter script? If so I can't use it on my Mac.

Sorry.

 

No, it's wxPython. I don't have a Mac for testing, so I have no idea if it works on a Mac, but I can't see any obvious reason why it wouldn't.

THanks for the links Baggins, and the reems of info you have posted over at RDNA.

 

So I ended up going with Sub Surface Scatter Skin node for the above.  I tried out your Scatter + Blinn which comes out almost identical, but with less specular and (for me) blue-ish spot artifacts on the skin.

I am going to try creating a new shader using the custom scatter node, once I have read up on the paper it is based on hopefully I can come up with my own method!

is this dynamic hair?  it looks amazing.

is it possible to make the light (caustic?) colors from the lamp shade shine a bit of color on the scene?

lampshade img map is plugged into diffuse and ambient_color, ambient value 1.

i ended up adding one spotlight.  the lampshade alone wasn't lighting the figure.

Poser does not do caustics unfortunately.  Either breakdown the model into each color components (which in this case is just about impossible) or use various colored lights. 

Hmmm, I would whether if a color image of the lamp can be placed into a lightset?

Gather node maybe?

I would initially increase the ambient_value.
Ambient_value is not limited to 1, it can go way up and beyond.

I often use ambient at higher values.

The texture is plugged in in ambient, OK.
Try ambient at  5, then 10. See what gives?

The problem I can foresee with increasing the ambient_value too high is blowing out the colors on the image map. 

Exactly, that is why I always do small area renders to check.
The right setting can be quite sensitive in a low light situation like this.

added a couple more lamps to be sources.  the brick wall looks real good, imo 

no lights in this attempt

IDL and SSS on

i guess it depends on the scene situation? 

all that lovely inverse attenuation will go to waste with only IDL light sources

it looks like the bounces picked up some colored light. this was 4 rt bounces, IDL - 7

is there a way to exclude items from lights? would be awesome if you could... for instance i like the wall in the first image , think it would be great if you could leave it like that and add a bit of light to other things and adjust till it works... i do this routinely in max.... just sayin

 are those bright spots intended or are they  consequential?

TY misty

:O)

the spots were a surprise, but for the club setting was a kewl surprise. 

doh, i just remembered the foggy room atmosphere wacro.

if  you plug an image map directly to Alt_Diffuse, it should be scene lights independent.

Hello,

the bright spots in the image of this post occur when a point light is too close to an object and you have IDL on. I had problems with that as well, but then I read somewhere that that was the reason. I moved lights further away from the walls and  got rid of the spots.

Best regards,

Thanks for the tips, bagginsbill!  :D

Used the S+B shader on Dublin textures:
