now who's snapping LOL
Poser does not have true SSS, it has, what it calls Fast Scatter.
Not even the Poser developers themselves seem to be able to get decent results with there own material node.
just check out the materials that come with poser pro. they are terrible (but so is practically every included example with poser)
the fast scatter node is supposed to simulate SSS without having to do all those heavy calculations. unfortunately even in a painstakingly configured scene, the node still gives no results even close to SSS. I dont know what it's doing, but if I were you, I would just forget that its there.
I have tried using it as a diffuse node, a specular node, an ambient node, a translucent node, and even a refraction node, none of them give any decent results.
