Watched "2001 : A Space Odyssey" again last week. Got inspired to do my spin on the "apes" investigating the Monolith. Was a fun Saturday diversion from the usual stuff. Rendered with an HDRI ski, Easy 9. D.O.F. 5.6, Post pro Topaz DeNoise and Gimp.

Mike, Fletch, Thanks gentlemen.

Darn , I spilled my candy...... Just got fooling around a little. Never have done any renders using sub surface scatter so put this little scene together to experiment on. Gave the "candy" the gum setting and then adjusted about with the settings until I got something I liked. Had no clue ...

Thanks Fletch, as always the help is great! Been doing experiments with the ice cubes as time allows. Will post some results when I get something that suits me .

Very , very nice...

RTD, I like your approach here. Will have to do some experiments along this line of attack...

RTD , Thanks and your spot on about the ice cubes. I've done A fair bit of off and on experiments with ice cubes and I.ve gotten close but not spot on yet.

Thanks Mike. Ice cubes have me pulling my hair out sometimes too

Some more experimenting..... Modeled decanter and glasses a few days ago..... Rendered scene with DOF at 5.6, Easy 10 , 100 passes. Linear tone map , dark 0.60, light 2.0. Used an HDRI for general light and one spotlight to the right side of table. Ran image through Topaz DeNoise and minor sharpened...

Thanks RTD. The experiments continue.....
