Out with the Scatter, in with the Refract.
But!
There's no place to plug in the color, and if we use the color as-is it will be wrong.
Refraction in Poser happens at mesh boundaries. When we look through an object via refraction, we multiply with the color on each bounce, which means looking through two mesh boundaries we get color times color, or color ** 2.
If we want the same effective coloring, we must use the square root of the color we want. I do that with the Color_Math node. This is multiplied with the Refract node, giving us the subsurface effect we want into the Fresnel_Blend Inner_Color.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
