Hello guys, please can you someone point me to the right direction? I wish to create translucent material for Blossom I am working on, I plan to have backlight light source in background, so some other flower would cast a shadow on foreground blossom elements, so it must be visible also on other side of blossom, please take a look on image attached. Please, which material or setup should I use?

Hi,
assuming that the petals have no thickness, you can use an Universal material, set a light color in Transmission similar to the Albedo/Diffuse color, and set the Transmission type to "Thin Wall Diffuse".
