Scanline Double Sided Translucency Effect on a Curtain

[onodiandras]

Hi everyone,

There was a fine trick to get the shadows on one side of a curtain onto the other one, by using a double sided material and setting the translucency something above zero - with scanline.

Now does anyone know how to achieve this effect with vray? (Maybe not having to wait hours with real translucency....)

Thanks in advance

Double Sided Materials have a parameter called translucency that determines how much of the 'back'-side of the material gets onto the 'front' one.

You are absolutely right: Standard materials don't have something like that.

Seems like nobody has an answer to this one.

Did I actually define my problem correctly?

Look for a plug-in called BACKLIGHT on www.maxplugins.de

Szoval mi a gondod? Ha jol veszem ki a szavaidbol en a helyedben adnek egy jo adag refractiont neki meg glossyt. Es lon csoda
Csinaltam mar ezzel a technikaval szep attetszo selymet. Tutko befuto.
Mr. Rosenman-nak van egy jo tutorialja, megnem mondom fejbol hol. Absorption -nal keress ra valahol meglesz. Ott szep peldak vannak ra.
Ha nagyon nem megy dobj egy emilt es kuldok materialt.
Egyeltalan melyikat hasznalod vray free/demo?

hi there,

since max 5 translucency is a standard shader in max
you can access it in a standard material where you
can choose blinn, phong etc.
There should be a point "Translucent Shader"
wich will give you the additional options "translucent color"
and "filter color"
and it works great with Vray

cheers
