maxDiffuseDepth - maxGlossyDepth & SSS

What is a good setting for these parameters when doing human skin with SSS (using PMC)?

For the old "maxdepth" setting, I remember Paul suggested 5. I believe he said too much depth would dull the SSS effect.

How does this translate into the new parameters?

Thanks

Hi Jeff

My current referred option is to leave maxDiffuseDepth/maxGlossyDepth at the default, then tweak the image look via exposure and gamma in the Imager. Plus my SSS settings are better now (still WIP - but see http://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=40539 - where I was erroneously putting a texturemap into the scatter and/or absorption slot).
