any way to speed up SSS?

[mdi]

reflections and refractions have Quality settings...does the translucency effect on standard vray mats also have one, if so where??

SSS is directly connected to refraction, so you control it's "quality" with refraction settings. Given the nature of SSS, it is quite easy to get very fast and good looking results with it. For example, you can get away with interpolated refraction at a quite low min/max rate very well, since usually sss is a quite diffuse effect, just set the refraction subdivs high eneugh t et rid of any splotches. From what I've learned, interpolated sss can be extremely fast, and good looking, faster than the new faked sss shader is many cases. (this is why I never really understood people who constantly kept asking for a "fast sss shader" just because MR has one...)
