It can be frustrating. Well send that fill I'll have a look. You know you can get on the IRC channel if you want. Things happen much faster on there. I'm there most of the day.. fakeing or even useing SSS isn't eazy yet. Some one corect me if I"m wrong but it wasn't even untill like last year there were any real and reliable SSS shaders for mental ray out there.

PS and you got some color in the color channel ?
