Nice one bepeg4d! Thanks for your help.

Thats pretty close to what I'm trying to achieve, I still trying to get the plastic coating looking right and this is why im trying to mix in a diffuse material.

Appreciate you taking the time to respond!

Hi everybody,

I have been trying to create a white balloon shader that looks like this:

I have been using a mix material that combines a specular material with SSS and a glossy material for the highlights ...

Dotjack, that exactly it! Thank you for the quick response and explanation.

You were right to use the mix node. I didn't want to use a projection light as it very difficult to get right and changes the lighting in the scene.

Thanks again!

Hello, apologies if this has been answered before or I have over looked something really basic.

I am trying to project a texture on a group of objects while the area outside the texture projection remains transparent and the materials on the other objects come through.
I am able to do this ...
