This is the 4th Rendering I did for ’s contest (the full image can be seen here ).

This one took the longest time for me to complete, not because of any technical problems (it was a relatively easy one) but because I got sidetracked.
I had just finished watching The Incredibles again and I was thinking how well the subsurface scattering (SSS) looked in that movie on toon like characters, so I wondered if it would help my Toph model. First off I had to find out if it was even possible to do SSS in Max 9, and it turns out it was included since version 7 and had just never found it because you need to have Mental Ray on for the shader to show up. Then I went through a long process of learning the ins and outs of the shader and how to get it to look right on my model (could never get the skin pink enough). In the end I decided that it would take to long get the 4th rendering tuned just how I would want it and I would also have to change the previous 3 so I shelved the SSS idea for another time and went back to my original textures.

Modeled and rendered on 3D Studio Max 9.
