SSS for thin objects?

[little_mikey]

Hi all,

I am trying to create a SSS effect for really thin objects (planes, nurbs
surfaces),
but can't seem to get it to work?

My thinking is that in these cases, I need the SSS effect to
disperse _along_ the surface, and not so much into the volume
(since there is virtually almost no volume to speak off)

This is just a test render. The desired application is to use
SSS on architectural vizs with
membrane / fabric structures which are backlit at night.

The test render below shows the SSS material working for
big objects, but not paper thin ones.



Thanks

in the thin object the light scattering cant be easily visible (even if it works), but the effect will appear when you'll have objects casting shadows on your thin objects.
