A little spin kick test. I had a goal to get this guy rigged in Blender and figure out how to apply mocap to it.

I just bought a copy of RACHEL RIDING OMNIBUS yesterday because my bass guitar needs its strings changed and I needed a book that'll knock me unconscious when it slips from my hands while reading in bed.
The stories and art are pretty great, too.

In #Blender, I kept seeing light leaking through geometry using #Eevee. It seems that my culprit was a material Transmission value > 0. After some fiddling, I discovered that by adding a Light Path | Ray Depth node to Thickness gave me better results. Light leak gone. Transmission works..?
