Just a thought... Wasn't SSS planned for 2.0+? This makes me even happier.

What is SSS by the way?

This is what all are so happy.

Seriously: SubSurface Scattering.

It's where light enters an object, scatters under the surface and exits again a different colour. Your skin has a SSS effect. Light enters, passes through the subdermis which is a red colour, and exits through the other side (a hand or ear, usually), which is why it looks orangey when you shine a bright light on your hand or up your nose.

Yes, if I remind well, it was. That's a great bonus that refractive software gave to us user.

Really thanks

Can someone explain how fast voxelization would/will be implemented in Octane? Similar to zbrush?

Just an idea, as I have no ability at all in coding :

Maybe voxelizing could be apparently shortened by voxelizing only a certain percentage of samples of the 3D volume in a first time, allowing a fast (and rough) display in the 3D view, while still voxelizing the rest of the volume in background during the first seconds or minutes of the rendering ?

And then you must rerender the first seconds because some information are missed...
