Hey all!

I am trying to add Subsurface scattering to a blob particle setup I have.

However I can't see how the SSS, (or any other shader node), hooks up correctly so it all renders.

Any help much appreciated!

Thanks, Richard.

I'm not 100% sure but I think you can't use generic shaders with blobby particles (someone please correct me if I'm wrong!). However, you might want to check out the Metaball-Addon from http://www.motionblur.it/ .. it can have particle-clouds as source, and you can give them any shader you want.

Ah nice one! I'll check that out shortly! :) Thanks.

Seems silly if you can't add them to the XSI blobs. For rendering water etc..

Rich!
