I post most often to my Deviant Art page rather than here on Rendo and there are quite a few groups that I follow that are Poser artists. As for the SSS node versus the Scatter node--the latter is much, much better with it's results. Definitely study that thread at Runtime DNA, it's an excelllent thread.
