Plastic material

Hi everyone!
I’ve been trying to model this plastic material of a white box for a some time. But can’t get such a result. Hope you help me.

I’ve made a similar material on these bins: [image] Here are nodes: [image] The nodes in the black outline are to override the glass shadow so you don’t have to enable caustics to get decent lighting.

Silicone material

Hi guys, long-time lurker here. I’ve been trying to model this silicone mouthpiece for a while. It’s an interesting challenge model-wise, but the texture utterly eludes me. Every time I get close it ends up looking nothing like silicone. From the reference image, I’m guessing I need to use a particular shader to get the edges to light up. I’m also struggling getting it to be translucent but ‘blurry’ as well. I’ve tried using IOR settings, but they seem strangely ineffective in this project. An…

translucent plastic for solid models

Anybody has a good idea or tip in how to make those translucent plastic materials in Cycles? [image] I find that the translucent shader with thick / solid geometry generates very dark materials and is also incredible noisy. [image]

@moony thx for the notification!

@asc3tik

Can you show what material node you have right now?

Hello! Thank you for reply. I tried one of methods from topics above and it looks quite similar. What do you think? And also I didn’t figured out yet how to add scratches😮‍💨

If it works, it works. However, I would always put any “shadow trickery” at the very last, and never exceed more than 50% translucency - maybe even pick up additional color than diffuse (more saturated) for a colored plastic. So; diffuse/translucency, mix in “transparency/refraction” for regular rays, fresnel mix in glossy, and then finally do any shadow stuff which could get kinda advanced. The best thing is to have the object at hand and try it against a backlit source; is all the light coming through completely diffused (translucency) or is there a highlight from the light source (rough refraction) mixed in as well?
