I'm trying to do something happy but funny and cool. Just like de Invader Zim cartoon is.
I made this using 3Ds Max 6 and Photoshop, rendered in Mental Ray.

evil-98, I use a mr-omni and a skylight, then I create a Tube primitive around the scene (see the image here (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v61/Alvaro/Girscene.jpg) )and aply an white output material on it. This output material made some extra ilumination on the scene. Output Material (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v61/Alvaro/Output_material.jpg)
Then I render with mental ray. I just use a final gather with 20000 Samples, Max Radius 15,0 n' Min Radius 0,1.
I didn't use SSS. I made this effect in the pigs using Photoshop. I used the rendered normal scene and then I put a --toon shaded (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v61/Alvaro/GirDreams_Toon2.jpg)-- and blured image of the same scene in a upper layer. Before that I just put this layer in saturation mode ;)

Thank you guys! I'm sorry if I say something veeery rong here, I don't speek english very weel...And if somebody don't understand something please ask me again!
