Speaking of Skyrim, skin surface scattering

Look at this)

Methinks TDM capable of models no worse than that in terms of leather details, hard metal surfaces and such

But how to simulate skin scattering? TDM man-skin looks like piece of painted wood. Is there a may to to implement or simlulate SSS, like self-illuminate a bit?

 

Edit: checked Wiki, its called SUBsurface scattering, my bad

What excuse do we have not to sculpt, and sculpt, and sculpt, until the job is done?

Sikkpin made a SSS shader for his Doom 3 branch but it seems we have limited staff who could incorporate such work.

actual code:

If anyone can answer that, Serpentine would be the go-to guy. Try him over at the dark mod IRC (webchat.freenode.net #thedarkmod )

 

That said, Rich_is_Bored's "Real Translucency" trick might get you pretty close if you blur the inverse vertex painting.

That real transluceny thing is great for thin curtain! Like thete is a window, and its curtained and there is some character and light lamp behind - to the effect of a silhuette visible from the street.Cool!

It could work for light shining behind an earlobe as well... you would need to create a scripted light inside the AI that fade's in as a reaction

to the AI getting hit by the light. this would then cause the inverse side image to render

Rich's translucency method doesn't work for .md5mesh models.

 

Sikkpin's stuff looks interesting, but I don't have the time or know-how to look into it.

Shoot. md5mesh doesn't support vertex color or twosided?

 

If it wouldn't cause too much hassle, I could just ask Sikkpin... Not sure he'd want to do it though (he seems burned out these days too...)

Am I the only one that finds it a little funny we can so easily talk about the skin shaders for soft CG-pr0n? ^_^

Well there's you're first sign we're techno-geeks...

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.
