I was afraid that the answer was that the SSS-ish material was a surface only approximation. I understand and appreciate that. but somewhere in the various docs or advertisements for RS is that in did have SSS ability.
I think the version of C4D after the one I got (R8) they added true SSS. Its too bad that I did not find my invoice until years too late that stated I was eligible for the next version (R8.5) of C4D that had many of these new features (SSS, soft selections, cloth, etc.) I don't want to start a fight, but I think that some proponents of RS are mistaking "many combination" for "power." Just because you can combine various features in many ways doesn't mean that most of the combination have any practice use. Part of a software being powerful is that those useful combinations are accessible to the typical user. I think the more popular programs achieve their utility is that they make those highly useful features ready and on-hand, and not having to be programmed from scratch. -- -- Henry Tjernlund http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/browse.php?username=henrytj http://www.modelmayhem.com/HenryTjernlund http://imdb.com/name/nm2519729/ http://www.myspace.com/henrytj http://henrytj.deviantart.com/
