Quote - This is another one you did that does have IDL + SSS. Don't get me wrong, this is outstanding and unbelievably sexy. But doesn't the skin look like wax? Maybe my eyes are just untrained? So the question arises, would I want to see her in some type of erotic scenario (hopefully I can say that)? Well, would I want to see an attractive wax figure in a museum in an erotic position? Hmm, no. Honestly, I'm conflicted and I shouldn't be feeling that way, instead I should look at the picture and like a typical male imagine her in an erotic scenario with no qualms.
It does look a bit waxy as I was just starting to play with SSS then. That's easy to correct. Just raise it to 150 or higher. The darker the skin, the less SSS you want anyway. Remember, most textures are pictures of human skin WITH SSS included in its colormap. The pic of mine you like is fake SSS and a nice picture of a healthy tanned person. That one I recognize as a face_off/morris skin system using his skin shader which was pretty astonishing for that time.
The pic of the head above was more of a mood shot. A camera flash in a flashback... Not meant to arouse young mens libido as it were... more sentimental.
Remember,,, a lot of us have been waiting a long time for IDL and SSS. Perhaps that's why the crits seem tilted.
Is there anyway you would try rendering that scene without IDL and SSS?
