This is based on a ZBrush picture that I did, that I decided to re-do in
Pov-Ray.  With all the talk of sub-surface scattering recently, I tried to
do something similar using media with the bar of soap.

This is the closest I could get so far.

Here are the texture settings I used, so if anyone has any ideas how I could
improve the texture, please let me know.

texture {
pigment {
color rgbf <1,1,1,1>
}
finish {
ambient 0.0
diffuse 1
phong 20
phong_size 50
specular 0.4
}
}
interior {
ior 1.33
media {
intervals 10
samples 1,1
confidence 0.9
variance 1.0/128
ratio 0.9
scattering {
2, rgb <20,20,20>
extinction 0.4
}
method 2
}
}

Wow! That looks really good. If I were to change anything I think the soap
my be just a little too shiny.

Here's a minor update.  I included the bump map for the tiles.

It would look great on a candel.

NO! You're not supposed to dro pthe soap!

Needs bubbles with iridescence, etc.

Looks good, although the soap is way to shiny (even
for a wet state).
As others mentioned, you should add some bubbles/foam,
and perhaps some water-splashes onto the tiles.

Perhaps even a subsurface-scattered foot or two of them
in the background...

Hold on, hold on.  Keep your shirt on.  I'm not done with this image yet.
It is a WIP, you know. :)
