how to make the SSS material transparent?

[Byron liu]

Any one know how to make the SSS material transparent? I use the mib_refraction node and it can only make the SSS object transprence when another object is inside it, but it is useless when the other object is behind the sss, I want to adjust it's opacity like the lambert material, is it possible? :confused:

Now I am studying the sss tutorial, but I found the author also realize the transprency of the SSS material relative to the object inside it. Maybe we still need to find how to make it transprent relative to the object outside and behind it. Welcom to discuss.:rolleyes:

Through the mib_opacity and mib_transparency, I make the SSS object unit transparence like the lambert shder's transparency, best wish for you guys!;)
