Hi all,
I'm working on skin+sss through pov media. Well... I would say : it's SSSo
hard !
As you know , too many translucent problems, a lot of time for tweaking and
then waiting for render etc. etc.
Now I say to myself : probably it's time to give up. :-(

I'm not happy with the results but perhaps my eyes are simply tired.
Anyway, here are some of my last tests.

On the other hand, I've tried to make my own faked sss method.
I've used aoi (angle of incidence) pattern and shadow_pigment.
Aoi pattern is available in MLPov 0.8 and Megapov 1.1.
Shadow_pigment is only a MLPov 0.8  feature (I think).

I must say that Gilles had used aoi yet within Cinema4D :

and a faked aoi using a slope map in Pov3.5 :

Here is my before-after image. It's seems she took a DHEA pill !
The head is always my old-first-not-really-good Wings figure. I use it as a
guinea-pig ..(is it the correct word in English ?)
There are 2 bluish area_lights.

#1 matte default
#2 matte uv-map
#3 aoi layer. The aoi is linked to the camera location point.
#4 uv-map and aoi layers are blended using transmit. We can see the white
edge.

#5 + ambient color
#6 + reddish shadow_pigment to mimic translucent effect.
#7 + light group => only skin and inner parts are concerned
#8 + highlights

Not perfect. Of course, the method could be improved.
But very FAST render

   :) ...because it's hard to do it better? You done it very well, much 
better than my lame first attempt, which had much more artifacts. The 
problem I think with SSS is that you will need a realistic structure 
inside (bones and muscles) to get a realistic head. On the other hand, 
the MLPov tests are also awesome, and very convincing too.

Don't give up! (Kate Bush's or Pete Gabriel voice as you want)
I agree tweaking scattering media is not really a rest cure :/

Fantastic. You're not a newbie by any sense of the word. Definitely not. :-)

You said it's fast to render. How fast?

Excellent work.

I must add however that I had a tiny lol to myself when I saw that sphere 
and thought it best described as "fake pornography."
