For those that requested it, here's the media settings that I used for my SSS images.
The most important setting is Media_Density. This is dependant on the size of your
object..
adjust as neccessary.
Oh, and of course, don't forget to make sure your object is not inside a non-hollow
object!!


#declare Obj_Col = <1,0.6,0.2>;
#declare Obj_Absorption = 1-Obj_Col;
#declare Media_Density = 6.5;

#declare SSS_Material =
material {
  texture {
     pigment { rgb Obj_Col filter 1}
     finish {specular 0.5  roughness 0.2 ambient 0.3 reflection {0.0,0.5 fresnel}
conserve_energy }
     }
interior {ior 1.3
     media {
        absorption Obj_Absorption*2
        scattering { 4, Media_Density }
        method 3
        }
      }
}
