OTOY Forums

Hi, I'm using Octane Render in Cimena 4D and I'm trying to create this translucent plastic:



I created a specular material and played with the options, but just can't get it to look right. The challenge I'm having is making it glossy/reflective with just enough translucency to see the bottle threads underneath. Any suggestions or tips? Thanks you.

Hi,
have you tried with Absorption, and a little bit of Scattering in the Medium?

ciao Beppe

yep, what beppe said is the ticket. I do plastic caps alot and even with "clear" plastic you need a medium to get it looking correct.

Thanks, I'll play around with medium amd absorption and post my results.
