Someone else posted this link ( http://graphics.stanford.edu/~henrik/papers/bssrdf/ )
reffering to an article on this and using it to make a lot of things look more real.
It can possibly
be faked (though not in any eay fashion), but at this point I don't think it is
directly supported yet.
Someone may create a patch for it once 3.5 is completed. I hope so at least, since I
have seen
many posts on sites like www.renderosity.com and none of the programs they use seem to
support it, or at least they have never used it on any models. It would be a very nice
addition to
POV, especially for organics where realism is dependant as much on fine detail, as the
way light
normally interects with say human skin. You could probably tweak existing features all
you like
and never end up with something that is truly accurate. But then I am no where near as
good
as most of the other people that use POV all the time. ;)
