skin lovin'

So anyway, I kept thinking about this method for making that translucent quality of skin that you notice in close-ups. I was watching Rome last night on HBO, and I kept noticing it on the skin around the actors' eyes especially. So I decided today to try and get it using the technique I kept meaning to try out. And sure enough, it worked just fine. I'll have to write up a new Trade Secret on my site about it soon. notice the render time. yeah.
