hey all!

I’ve decided to try and model a plant, and I wanted to incorporate some SSS into it as well, since I still don’t know how it works… :sure:

anyway, I’ve looked a little into it, and I’ve come up with this first test-render of a simple leaf-model with SSS (or in vray: Absorption).

this is only meant to be a test of how the light comes through the model, so the quality of the SSS is low.

More pic’s will come as I model more 🙂
