Thanks!!
For LEGO, should I just reuse the surface color for the transparency? Or
something else, like white or black?

It never was an UberPOV-only thing in the first place ;)

According to that table, and presuming that POV-Ray export of LDraw
models uses 1 LDU = 1 unit in POV-Ray, you should use
global_settings {
mm_per_unit 0.4
}
and either of:
// opaque (ABS, acrylnitrile butadien styrene)
interior { ior 1.6 }
// transparent (Makrolon(R), a polycarbonate)
interior { ior 1.585 dispersion 1.02 }
// axles (polyamide, maybe Nylon)
interior { ior 1.53 }
(The `ior.inc` in the master branch contains values for ABS and PC,
named `iorABS`, `iorPC` and `dispPC`, respectively, but not for PC yet;
it also needs a POV-Ray version newer than v3.7.0.)
As for the subsurface translucency values, you'll have to tinker. I know
of no measured values, and the properties may differ from colour to colour.

I guess you mean the `translucency` setting.
No, use neither the pigment colour nor black.
This is actually not a colour /per se/, but rather a value related to
the average distance a photon will travel inside the material before
being absorbed/scattered/both (can't remember the exact interpretation
off the top of my head), which can be specified differently for the
three colour channels (R,G,B).
There are no limits to the setting -- particularly translucent materials
might have values like <10,10,10> or even higher, while "dense"
materials might have values like <0.1,0.1,0.1> or even lower.
I'd start at <1,1,1> and see how it looks. If the material appears too
waxy, reduce the value. If it appears too "hard", increase the value.

I think I've been confusing two entirely different features. What I've
been trying to achieve is *blurred reflections*, not SSLT. Are they
related? I got confused because my old Uberpov scenes tried to do both.
But blurred reflections are still an Uberpov-only thing right?

No, not at all. Essentially the only thing they have in common is that
they both are stochastic algorithms and as such create a bit of pixel noise.

Yup.

I have only limited experience with SSLT so far, but your samples count should
be much higher (try 100,100); otherwise you'll still see some linear-like
stochastic noise or blotches. I *think* the noise appearance has no relation to
the size of the object or its distance from the camera; it shows up as the same
'size' in the render no matter what.

The dafault values are 20, 20. You can reduce that if you can live with
some graininess. In my experience, something around 10 to 15 tend to
give acceptable results.
If you have very low translucency, or very large relative to the size of
the object, you may be able to get away with smaller values.
Also, when taking radiosity into account, you probably need to take more
samples.
