|  |  | not sure what's causing this ...
image on the left has area light but commented out the sslt portion of 
the material, on the right, same settings but with the sslt enabled.
btw: base texture is a uv mapped image

The image, in the link below, of the lady with a dislocated thumb is u-v 
mapped and uses area lights. If that helps (possibly hinders).

OK then ... I suppose it means that it's something I'm doing and NOT an 
anomaly. LOL ... back to the drawing board. Maybe it's the backside 
diffuse I'm using, at any rate thanks for helping eliminate one of the 
possibilities.

It was a very small area light, 4x4.
I'll post another test later, when it is finished, where I had to change 
the samples from 100 to 1000 when changing between RC3 to RC4.
BTW have you tried translucency = <0,0,0> end or 0.0001?

nope ... interesting idea. i've had better luck going in the other 
direction (larger values), but hey i'm still poking at this, so all 
ideas are good ones at this point ;-)

Not a good idea but interesting in a way.
