Translucency in eeVee Blender 2.8

Just a quick note to remind myself more than anything

I searched for Translucency solutions for eeVee and found nothing but a lot of other people searching for some.. so... it's subsurface scattering (which are guess are the same thing but I was looking for a quick fix like you have in earlier versions)

the answer is its called different things in different places at the moment.

and you not only have to adjust it in the material, but select it in the render options and select it as a material option...

then it's very good indeed
