Transluceny vs Opacity

When creating a generic plastic material I see these 2 settings. How are they different? :sunglasses:

Hi,

A material with translucency will allow light to bounce inside it and exit the object at various points. Opacity will allow light to pass through the material in a uniform manner.

For better understanding of the Translucency parameter (Subsurface scatter), please visit Chaos Docs

Thanks for the info!
