Twilight Render User Forum

Thanks for the suggestion Alex. I was not aware that the phpBB group had an official rss implementation. I investigated third-party implementations but was concerned about security. I'll look for it directly from phpBB.

Just in case you missed it, this got updated today with release 1.0.19.

With shadows turned off.

First image is SSS -> Gum, with Alpha at 5, Scatter Density at 0. Omni Light inside, strength = 1. Took 10 seconds
Second is emitter, 500 W/m^2. Took 13 seconds.

Both on Low, single core.

So the SSS may be a bit faster for you...

Hi Tom, This kind of material is tough to do so it renders "quickly". If you want it to glow, the easiest way is to make it an emitter, but as you found out, that can really slow things down with how many you have in your scene. One alternative is to make the material SubSurface Scattering...

Neither do I. I have a single core pos. But I still choose Indoor+ 9 times out of 10. You just have to wait longer.

Also, take care with your materials. Twilight supports dispersion (the rainbow sparkles) via libraries. Did you use the Diamond setting in the Gems library? It has "scientific IOR" (NK) and dispersion.
