A few months back, there was a thread concerning some ways to either
reproduce or to fake translucency in POV.  I was unable to find the
thread when I searched for it today, so I was wondering if anyone could
explain to me how to do this.  I also believe, if memory serves me
correctly, that someone posted a rendering of a burning candle that
demonstrated a technique for producing translucency.  Thanks for any
help.

That sounds familiar...I think they were using a scattering media with a 
very high density to simulate translucency. And later there was some 
discussion about using blurred transparence to help with making 
translucent objects.

Lance posted the candle but it was a MAX rendering. I'll see if I can
find the thread.
