Description
As promised here are my other two pictures. I played with a bunch of different things. I like the IDL/SSS combination; however, it takes FOREVER. The regular Poser MAT and ironman13 lights rendered in 6 minutes @ like 2000 x 1500 and still looks excellent. I like them both. I really like the SSS with IDL, but I don't like to wait :) Anyway, happy new year everyone!

Wonderful work,
They both look outstanding!....outstanding work!..
Lovely image my friend, excellent versions and lighting variations, very well done!
the difference is worth the wait imho. the idl image looks fabulous.
This is a wonderful looking image, hope you have a Happy New Year Shannon
I agree with danisa, the image on the left is significantly more realistic with a natural glow to the skin. The one of the right is still a pretty rendor and has a nice vibrant feel but there is also a plastic like look to it as the light has bounced off the skin surface rather than being absorbed and re-immited. JMHO. I find when doing portrait work then it is best to go with SSS, but not always IDL. When you are doing scene work, then SSS is often not worth it as the subjects are too distant for your to really appreciate the effects. With poserpro2012 you have to pick and choose your render settings on a case by case basis, there is no universal magic bullet.
Both are wonderful!
