How to make a foam material for insulation pads?

Hey,

so I’m working on an interior render of a musician’s room with a guitar as main subject. The guitar + its stand are almost finished and I’m now stuck at the material for these insulation pad thingys for the background.

This is what I’m talking about:

I tried using a combination of lots of different shaders like SSS+diffuse+velvet+a bit of glossy but it just looks awful.

Do you have any idea how to setup the material?

Thanks :slight_smile:

Just something fast thrown together. Hope it will suit your scene.

It looks awesome! Thank you very much. I would never have thought about using a volumetric shader for this. It helped a lot! :slight_smile:
