some samples where already shown in the upcoming tS7.5 release news.
I just wanted to show and tell a bit more about the Shader you will await.
The Model Shader based upon a translucence formula from Joel Styles but it isn't a 1:1 adaption.
I must also admit that I'm not a programmer or a shader creator,
with that fact in mind it is amazing how easy it was to come up with this
and I think a programmer who know hlsl coding would create really nice stuff.
Here a simple head taken from poser.
5307
Left the non scattering version nearly the same result as pure phong shading.
Right the scattered versions. Keep in mind it isn't true subsurface scattering nor translucence lighting.
It's more or less a fake to achieve similar and like all realtime shaders also this one has some limitations
you have to deal with but if you know how to set the light you can create cool results.
The Shader comes with some settings which keeps flexibility.
5306
You can use float point (numerical input) or color/texture for nearly every setting.
At the right site you see the node tree from the model shader. |

Looks awesome Parva!
Er now the key question is how do we export it as HLSL for our game engines... ^-^

thank you Jack.
Indeed exporting isn't possible yet.
Export as fx file would be nice of course but I don't know how proper it would work in game engines there I not know how standart "fx" format is or if game engines use there own code or slightly different fx format. |

some other screenies, done during the testing.

This is some really nice work Parva :D I particularly like the guy at the bottom right on the first image. The baby looks nice too.
Unless I'm mistaken the shader bricks are encapsulated HLSL so I would think that there's gotta be a way for Caligari to build us an HLSL script exporter... ;)
Exporters is what ever one is saying is next on the list after 7.5 maybe shader scripts will be included in that...

Superb work Parva as usual. I have had great fun playing with this shader in 7.5...:D |

thank you Jack and Paul :)
maybe my scripting knowledge expands in the future so that I can clean up this shader or someone with more knowledge can create a more advanced sss shader (or something else). I think the possibilites in tS7.5 are there :) |

Thats funny.. your avatar has the same effect as your sss real time shader.. so you may think about to create this trol with your shader! Its a new tendence use a TS Cg avatars...
Incredible work Parva...:) |

Very cool as usual Parva! :D The only thing better then your work itself is your willingness to share it and help the rest of us achieve better results. :) :banana: :banana: |

Simply amazing ! :D
I never cease to be amazed at what can be done in realtime...but takes forever to render :confused: |

I agree... wuts funn is that even a basic form of radiosity is possible in shader form-
It would seem that eventualy there won't be any need to prerender anything... it'll all be done in real time (though how far away that is... hard to say) :D |

"It would seem that eventualy there won't be any need to prerender anything"
I think DX10 will help in this regard! |

Yup, the DX10 showreel of Crysis is hard to separate from animation/reality. :D
But looking at Parva's realtime work...I'd say we get pretty close with DX9 :cool: |
