It is my understanding translucency will make it.Ringo said that
pretty confidently...so somebody in charge said it.;) Might have to
wait for demo. I guess someone from eovia will have to speak up to
confirm. In the meantime, here is a shoe string shaders link that you
may find of some interest...or not, since this is not true
translucency and you may already be aware of it:D

Are you talking about rendering output channels seperately the way V5I
does for post-production? Haven't heard that mentioned. Would be nice
I asked about it, but no one answered.
