translucent paper

[corestudio]

Does anybody have a good recipe for translucent paper? Something that can be back lit for instance. Thanks!

The V-Ray 2 sided material should do what you need.

Thanks vlado. I've been playing with that but I'm not clear on usage. Do I use VRrayMtl for the front and/or back? how to achieve the translucence? Do I need to enable sub-surface on the incoming materials? For instance how would you suggest executing a back lit, translucent paper box?

(sorry if this gets posted twice)

Basically you just need to set VRayMtl in the Front Material slot and control the translucency with the Translucency Tex color ( or texture).
I have attached a very simple example scene for reference.
