Gnomonology - SubSurfacing Sushi

Weekly Walkthroughs provide a complete project, including geometry, file textures, shading networks, environment maps, gobos, and lighting rigs. The aim is to teach through deconstruction of a fully realized but simple scene.
Subsurfacing Sushi creates fish from Maya's wood procedure. It then delves into the network of the mental ray fast_simple subsurface scattering material. Even subsurface pros will learn something as hidden and underused parameters are uncovered from the depths. The lesson concludes with Depth of Field as a post process in Photoshop.
