Thanks for the reference.  I had read your post before starting this project
and it is what gave me the idea.  I missed the part about interior_texture
though so I couldn't get it to work.

The solution shown here is kind of the invers of sub-surface scattering.
There is a transparent outer shell that contains an absorbtion media (white
at the moment) the iner shell is the same object with an opaque,
double_illumnate, no_shadow texture, and brilliance turned down to 0.05.

I'll go back and fiddle with the modle after finals are over and see if I
can get it to work.

Thanks
