    thanks,

    Subsurface rendering is used for translucent materiel
    like wax in a candle. imagine a large diameter red candle
    with the flame  going down in the middle. From the side you
    will see a portion of the candle that is clompletely opaque
    dark red and at the upper part you will see illuminated red
    wax.

    generaly it is a way to transport light in the interior of
    objects. I thought that POVRAY medai where only used for
    athmospheric effects.
