Leaf material - back scattering

Support Materials and Textures

Hi,

I’d like to ask you how to create leaf material that have effect such on that photo:

I’m used to Maxwell material system where I could use thin-sss option in material and set asymmetry to about -0.2 (from -1 to 1 range) and get slight back scattering effect (despite of translucency). Any help appreciated.

Best regs.

Assuming you’re using Cycles, this can help you get started. I’d probably use a translucent shader or an SSS.

Is it possible to use sss for thin objects?

Translucent would be better for this - light shining through a leaf is not a SSS effect.
