SSS

Subsurface Scattering

Often abbreviated SSS.

The sampling rate controls the number of samples per cm square on the surface of the object. Lowering the sampling rate would introduce low frequency noise on the surface but would not otherwise change the overall SSS effect. SSS is physically related to the size of the object, the SSS RGB values control the distance the light diffuses into the material. For very large models, the SSS would not be noticeable.[1]

The speed of SSS improved greatly in A:M_History#V17.

Integrating with AO

See the Ambient_Occlusion page for a description of difficulties mixing AO with SSS.
