Thank you for the watch and also for the tip about Poke-away - I don't want to comment on that comment directly because it will then disappear from my list (probably there is some way to go back to comments that you've commented on but life is too short to learn dA this website is very confusing what with all the lamas and watches and groups and different places to post, collect and submit - it's too much for my poor old brain) so... back to Poke-away. Now that does sound useful and at a dollar its easily worth it for a bit of an experiment. So yes, I'm not battling with SSS at the moment (Horo and I are working on vegetation) I'm getting distracted by Topmod (I can use it for a couple of hours before the continual crashing drives me to distraction). Doubtless though I will return to SSS sooner or later since it is such a cool effect and very necessary for photorealistic (or just plain cool) rendering effects.
Cheers,
David.
