Hello! I'm back with another basic question: How do you make a transluscent glass (like the sandblasted glass) ?
Thank you!

there is a trick that proupin used, but you can also wait till tonight and do it properly with the pre 2.3_5 which I think it has that already built in. ;)

I tried reading up on the mix materials and have toyed around with it with what little time I have in between renders for a deadline and can't seem to get sandblasted glass.... Noone quite answered the initial question.

well, at the time I couldn't cause I didn't know how it would work (it wasn't out yet) but now with v5 just use an specular material and play with the roughness parameter to get sandblasted glass.
