From Wikipedia:

[font=Times New Roman]Subsurface scattering is important in 3D computer graphics, being necessary for the realistic rendering of materials such as marble, skin, and milk.... This technique was pioneered in rendering faces in The Matrix Reloaded [4], but has recently fallen into the realm of real-time techniques.[/font]

Hi jjb, I think there would be a mismatch between the visual sophistication of scattering and the hard choices RL made in order to make iClone a real-time movie machine. For example, iClone uses mid-density polygon models. My guess is that the skin scattering would be visually useless until you get to the kind of high-poly environment of DAZ and Poser.

I disagree, SSS can be very useful even on mid-poly models. I would really love to see it in future materials, or even the ability to sacrifice real-time rendering to be able to go through other renderers, i.e. Renderman, Arnold, or something like Octane

Add two more S's to the beginning of that and you're good.

Oh hello Screen Spaced SubSurface Scattering...

WABAM!!

Can we get this please?

Volumetric light shafts would be awesome too. I know that's probably going to be in iCl9one 6 though, but still.

Creation begins at the core.

The atmospheric tools do a lot, but it would be great to see what else we can squeeze out of it. Anything to improve the realism while maintaining performance would be great!
