Subsurface Texture Mapping

Designing and rendering translucent material requires a faithful description of its aspects as well as a realistic simulation of its interaction with light. A new method for modeling and rendering complex organic materials made up of multiple layers of variable thickness uses simple texture-mapping principles and a single-scattering computation.
