G8F Skin rendering transparent (DS 4.10- Iray) and/or purple

Silent Winter

I've not rendered G8 much, but I'm currently trying and getting an odd result.

The skin surfaces (not lips or eyes) are rendering as though completely see-through (barring some slight purplish rendered skin at some edges. When the render starts, there's some rendering of skin which gradually disappears.

It looks as if the skin has a refraction setting with a number that makes light pass through, but I tried adjusting (and turning off) refraction to no avail.

I tried different HDRI lights and different mesh lights but got the same result.

In DS 4.10 with Iray.

Any ideas what might be causing it?

Edit:^ Here it looks white because of the background but in the renderer it shows the 'nothing' checkerboard if I don't have a background/HDRI - otherwise it shows through to that).

This is an issue with the Chromatic SSS mode when Draw Dome is off. it's fixed in the version of iray included in the DS 4.11 Public Beta, or it can be avoided by turning Draw Dome on or by setting the SSS Type for the affected surfaes to mono.

Awesome - thanks for the info Richard
