SSS Help

So I’m using Maya/mental ray for an animation of a surgery involving the trachea. I’m using the misss_fast_simple_maya material and it works perfectly fine until I apply it to a cylindrical extruded surface (like a hallow pipe). You’ll see in the images that some of the objects will work, but when I apply it to the trachea (which is hallowed out so you can go inside it), I lose all backscattering effects. I tried adjusting the radius, but that didn’t seem to help. Any ideas of what can fix this? Thanks!

SSS_)1.jpg: Left object (the trachea) has the same SSS material attached as the two objects to the right of it

SSS_02.jpg: Same material (just tried a different bump to see if that was the problem). Non extruded cylinder works fine, extruded shows same problem as the last image

Dry Paint-Short Film shot on the street of Paris

This is a short film about a man, a sign and a ball. It deals with a mans struggle to deny his human impulse. How serious does that sound? Its actually just a bit of fun and i hope you like it.

Here it is!

Nuke and Monochromatic Grain Match

Hi guys… 🙂

I have pre-graded dpx scans, and tried to match grain in Nuke.
Can you please tell me a way to match monochromatic grain in NUKE…
In AFX there is a monochromatic button in ADD GRAIN.
It worked well for me in AFX, but we use Nuke for this projects…
Thanks…

paint tool doesnt paint where mouse is

Why I try to paint with the paint tool and the size is set to 1 it will draw exactly where my mouse is but once I change the size to something else it will paint a few pixels away from where my mouse courser is depending on the new size- how do I draw exactly where my mouse courser is (the way it is when size is set to 1.0)
