Absorbtion in vray

[sh_serg]

Hello!
I browsed the article
http://www.richardrosenman.com/vray.htm
I have seen there images of venus and dragon, where the absorbtion is shown.
Before images the intro is written:
"
Absorbtion is used for simulating translucency. Unlike Sub-Surface Light Scattering (SSS, 3S), the light is absorbed within the subject instead of bouncing about and contributing to internal illumination
"
So I think, what is need to create such materials, if it is not SSS?

richrad rosenman`s tutorial is quite helpful, but he missed to explain some things, as sh-serg says..... i also had troubles to understand the translucency stuff and the only clear discription you can get at
