Yes. I also have a work and I'm out of my house from 7am to 20pm. I have
also a little child of one year old. But in spite of this I'm trying to
develop a patch that allows to use media ii such a way that can model sss.
I'm trying to do this adding a new pattern that can be used in density
contest. DF3 files could be used, but they need a double pass to render and
an external program. If my idea will be OK, I hove to model a density
pattern that grows exponentially with the (minimal) distance from a generic
surface. It's just an aid to avoid df3 alternative. I've already talked of
these topics in other posts. Obviously rendering time grows up a lot.

I'm already at a good point of developement and I've already obtained good
results. Unfortunately not always I've found a sufficient support in this
forum. So I had to study and debug by my own. Anyway thanks to everyone
that have helped me.
