In this render:

- Dragon: no SSLT
- Floor: no SSLT
- Cube: SSLT with 5*translucency vector (was 2* in earlier example)
- Egg: SSLT with 3*translucency vector (was 2* in earlier example)

The cube is showing markedly more translucency in the shadows cast on 
it. I see not much difference in the egg, although if I increase the 
translucency exaggeratedly (*100 for instance) the effect becomes distorted.

Question: In the wiki about SSLT it is said: "The effect doesn't scale 
with the object". Does this mean that SSLT works in the same way as a 
scattering media where the amount of scattering has to be compensated 
for the amount of media object's scale? It appears so to me at least 
although this is not mentioned in the wiki.
