Caramel Llama

A llama made of delicious caramel, can it get better than this? *tries to lick the sceen*

With kind permission the 3D model was based on *cezkid's Llama Paper-craft.

It is the result of the subsurface scattering I have been working on for my 3D render, it supports multi scattering, refraction (not used in this image), fresnel, variable density and colours, as well as different light models (which are solved analytic for light paths in refractive media). An image with different parameters can be seen here.

The image of the paper llama had been roaming around in my head for a while and I wanted to try and turn it into something nice in 3D, which didn't involve the usual glass, reflective or diffused look. I think the choice to use it for something more interesting was worth the wait.

P.S. Even if it is a simple model, hand coding it wasn't that good a move as it took far longer than expected, I really should learn to use a program to make models instead.
