It's possible... Maybe I'm wrong. The problem is that I'm looking for some
help because I'm unable to reach the same effects I've seen in the
articles:

- http://graphics.stanford.edu/papers/bssrdf/bssrdf.pdf
- http://www.tml.hut.fi/Opinnot/Tik-111.500/2002/paperit/kalle_koutajoki.pdf

or at these page:

- http://test.jzinfo.com/bssrdf.htm (in particular for teapot or work by
Jean Marc);

I'de like to use for marble objects the same effects I've seen, but I can't
find the right way to apply media and setup media parameters. Maybe someone
else have already experienced this... The messages I've read in the
newsgroups aren't sufficient...

For example is there a way to apply sub-surface scattering to a generic
object?
What is the best way to apply sss to a marble material?

I hope that anyone can help me. Meanwhile I'll try to experiment
furthermore in this direction.

Thanks.

Antonio
