Translucency in vraymtl to 2sided mtl

[snivlem]

Hello,

I recently bought a model pack from Evermotion. Inside I notice this curiosity for their method of creating a leaf shader.



There isn't any refraction on the vraymtl, so why did they do this? Does it affect anything?

From my tests I can't tell the difference between leaving it off or on.

The translucency parameters will have any impact on the final shader only when refraction is enabled. I'm not sure what is the point of this setup. I see the refraction glossy value is lowered to 0.5 and the only adjustment will be to enable refraction's so this might be the case.
