Base Setup

I grabbed a default mesh from the download environment pack and overwrote the texture color to be something more of a jade tone. I tweaked a few more settings on the ORM map and was on my way to the good stuff - the sub surface scattering!  

Sub-Surface Scattering Properties

It took me a while to figure out how to put together and organize all of this but once it's done it can be reused many times. The main component is how the parameter affects the overall opacity (the part that is see-through) and the SSS color can be manually configured / overidden to whatever you want it to be, regardless of light source. I mostly use the default light source color, however, for realism purposes. 

Height Map

I simply wanted to get in the habit of giving the end user the ability to customize the material more than on average. I think height map properties are cool and you never know when they could come into good use - so why not?
