im adding translucency to my model.. on the ears and some other little spots..

so i made for a test how it goes.. a black and grey map..

black for no translucency en grey ,white for translucency..

so i added the map to the slot.. and got to extend parameters.. wher there is a color. bar for translucency.. and gave it the color i wanted.. and set the % value of how much i wanted to have..

but when i render.. the rest of the face also has translucensy.. atthe white points the most ..but the rest does to.. is this normall ?.. .

and .. if you know.. how do you do translucency the right way ?




ps: i asked this 2 times already.. nobody answers :(

Don't know if I understand your question correctly, but have you tried the translucency shader for normal materials, or the raytrace material?

What happens if you put a fallof on the translucency...
Maybe post some pics to clarify too.

Hi Ivo,

I think I found a solution...
See pic. Use a mix material in you transl. slot. Use the bitmap as mix amount and use the colors for ..well coloring... set color 1 to black and color 2 to what you want... in my example you should replace vert color with bitmap and you should be set! Fellow dutchman should lookout for each other... toch?
