Ray distance is irrelevant if you're using a cage. Make sure "use cage" is checked in the lowpoly mesh's options. Otherwise, check that 'closest hit if ray fails' and 'discard back-face hits' are both enabled.
Read Max's help file on Mental Ray's Fast SSS shader. It's very easy to set up in the material editor, you just have to switch your renderer from default scanline to Mental Ray.
Hello everyone, Currently I am taking part in one of the classes on Game Art Institute with Adam Skutt. Class is great, Adam is an amazing teacher! I'd be looking for some visual feedback.

Some people may be genetically predisposed to have better awareness of shapes or colors at birth or something like that, but if…
