Thanks Pony! That is very encouraging, just what I needed to hear right now. Any way I almost forgot about the velvet shader. For now I have found a go around. But eventually would like to get this to work better. I have used a ramp to make the edges translucent, not allot, but just enough for the light to shine threw giving the appearance of some sss. I put a blue back light just to give the idea. The nice thing about this is I wouldn’t have to animate the ramp for the color of light but the drawback is it only gives a small rim. For some of it that should be fine because my character will be in a dark ally but I will probably need more when I introduce the angel.

Edit:
after a few more test I dont think this is working like I thought it was. Back to the drawing board.
