I agree with Brian, with Fake fresnel is impossible to control the zone where we need a translucent effect, maybe is possible to do it decently with fake fresnel and a custom mapped object. I hope too to see SSS in C5, but sincerely i really hope that Eovia will consider the integration of some external render like Mental ray or Maxwellrender. At this point (for my professional works), Carrara render have too much limits. -TOXE
