yes ... subsurface is one. let's see ... backside diffuse, area 
illumination ... mesh_cam allows texture baking. several new pigment 
patterns, and a new shape, use of hdr/exr light maps:

if I left something out.

I also thought this make a cool collaborative effort. I want to get 
something that /POPS/ ... so I guess I'd like to see if some of you top 
echelon artists might like to add to the effort. Lately there's also 
been some pretty cool techniques flying around in this news group and I 
think SDL is a strong point of povray so, some of the macros that have 
been posted could be put to good use ...

I'd to tie the end product into a distribution scene file ... maybe a 
"the making of" story/tutorial/whatever

Too much blue sky?
