Real-Time Realistic Skin Translucency

A new algorithm renders real time, photorealistic skin by simulating both reflectance and transmittance of light through a multilayered skin model. Despite this model's simplicity, it reproduces the look of images rendered with techniques such as photon mapping or diffusion approximation.
