A deeper foray into Cloudy Plastics

[Despot]

Playing around with the new Plastic (Cloudy) material type.

Probably pushing the values too far as I'm getting fireflies

[Josh3D]

Creepy! But I like it. What are your settings?

Very cool. There is a new update coming that should reduce the noise. It would be great if you could share your "noisy" scene with us at beta@luxion.com

[Magnus Skogsfjord]

Oh, is that the creepy child munching fella from Pan's labyrinth? Supernice material!

[Will Gibbons]

I love this! Super-cool.

We did find and solve an issue today that could cause random noise in the cloudy plastic. This is fixed in the next update.

Thanks guys, I really do appreciate your comments.

Josh : I've attached a screenshot of my settings for the first render

Magnus : Yes ! It is the Pale Child Eater from Pan's Labyrinth

Henrik : Thanks, I will re-render with the new update

This is interesting. I would think you'd want to use the translucent material to achieve this kind of look. Have you tried?

Yes I've tried Thomas, this new material in 7 Beta is the only material (in my opinion) that gives you a believable translucent plastic. It looks markedly different from the Translucent (advanced)

I use Octane Render and really like the look of it's SSS shader and in the past had wished that I could get the same look out of KS - well, with Cloudy Plastic I can

It is also my experience that Cloudy Plastic looks better than Translucent on geometry with thin sections.

Yes! This looks really good!

[Josh3D]

I'm mimicking your settings and seeing the same. Will test further. Thanks John.
