Cellophane - node setup

[Spin]

I wanted to share this. Any input is welcome, since I am open to newer methods all of the time. I came across a new tutorial 1 month ago (16 blender tips) and found out how to make CELLOPHANE or flat glass without the IOR. There are many ways, but this is the best I have seen so far.

And you need this setting for the cellophane too:

Here is a picture from eBay of what I wanted to create.

Here’s what I created. Needs tweaking depending on the camera view and what HDRI I choose.

I now use the “Separate Color” node and a ‘ColorRamp’ for my Roughness on product boxes. It is a time saver and uses less resources. Here’s the link to that tutorial on 16 Blender tips:

Thanks. That works good. That method doesn’t require changing anything in the ‘Object Properties’ menu. Now I can join multiple objects into one object with multiple textures and still have shadow and visibility.

first examp works fine
second one you need to lower the alpha for transparency

I added that new cellophane material to my ASSET Library for quick usage. I tried it on a few inflatable bags and it looks good!

Here it is again with the update.
