Jame introduction:
"Skin has a particular quality that sets it apart from ordinary surfaces: it is luminously translucent. That means that in addition to the light that reflects off the skin's surface, light bounces around the layers of flesh below the skin, illuminating it from the inside. This effect is widely called "Subsurface Scattering", or SSS for short, and is a property of a number of translucent materials; wax, plastic, milk, and marble, to name a few."
