<div dir="ltr">I don't want to lock you into a fixed release date or anything but would the standard skin, hair, and volume be something for 2.68 while you are doing UI and small features or is it something to do after you have completed volume in 2.69?<br>

Bidirectional Lightcuts - Appendix B<br>
Implementing a skin BSSRDF (or several...)<br>

Anyway, I'm finding out that these also still have some issues and I'm<br>
trying to solve them. The main one being how to normalize the amount<br>
of light being contributed for arbitrary geometry shapes. Eventually a<br>
skin shader will be there yes, but not for this release. In the end we<br>
should have a Standard Skin, Standard Hair, Standard Volume, ... maybe<br>
a few others, for quick setup.<br>
