It's the natural form of diffuse reflection in almost every thing in our world. It is the way we normally form an image of the things around us.

The old FastScatter node is not even a tolerable implementation of scattering or diffuse reflection. It was introduced in Poser 5, and then almost immediately completely broken in Poser 6. It has remained as an utterly useless implementation ever since. I wrote many threads about it, and so did face_off. Except for a few rare and 10-year-old scenarios, it is the same as ambient.

Actually, BB, all I said was SSS in Poser 8. I called it that because that was how the tab was labelled in the Material Room. Sorry if I am creating confusion. I am still learning all this stuff, and get excited when I can pull off what I am attempting.
