I need honest opinions here...

Postby SaltyCowdawg » Mon Jul 07, 2014 1:53 am

I have two renders of the same human done in MakeHuman and then Blender 2.7

the first of which is using only the diffuse texture that comes with MH 1.01

and the other includes some Subsurface Scattering. Both are done in Cycles.

does anybody see any difference between the two?

The second one has SSS included, but I don't see much difference.

The first is quite a bit darker, or the red/browns are more intense.

The second is smoother and more plastic-looking.

Are you going for photo-realism?

The sss version is more "soft", as expected. Certainly better of the pure diffuse.
Anyway SSS make an huge difference in closeup rendering, with more details etc

That's the end goal at least. Been burning up a lot of hours trying things and attempting to get as close to photo-realistic as I can.

Just realized today is my one year anniversary of starting to play around with Blender. :-D
