This innovations project introduces the natural phenomena of translucency. Until now translucency has been underrated and ignored, you maybe not even be aware of its existence, even thought it plays a very large role in how things look and feel to the eye. Translucency is what makes skin look smooth when actually it’s not and what lets you see things behind paper, even thought papers opaque. Everything excluding metal has an element of this property. My innovations project is to research translucency and all its components and from that implement a subsurface scattering shader that implements this effect.
