Here it is. You will need to download both files. Just include 
sss_macro.inc into your POV file.

Look at sss_example.pov to see everything you need to know to get 
started. You have to declare the object which will receive sss.

The macro is called sss_pattern and takes six arguments. These are 
commented on in sss_example.pov. You can add additional sss effects from 
other light sources by making new entries in the average pattern's 
color_map which comply with existing light_sources. Beware, however. 
Things *can* get slow with higher sss settings.

Hope you enjoy using this code. Happy raytracing!

Sorry, I didn't mention how to change that. In sss_example.pov you will 
find a line that reads like this:

finish{ambient<0 1 .25> diffuse 0}

Just change the ambient's rgb values to whatever you wish.
