Description:


    Translucent materials, such as marble, milk, and skin have a soft and smooth appearance that cannot be simulated with standard lighting models. This animation demonstrates a new practical model for correctly rendering translucency and shows how it can eliminate the traditional hard computer graphics look. Our model is described in detail in the SIGGRAPH 2001 paper “A Practical Model for Subsurface Light Transport.”
