translucency problem

[kingjin]

In the material settings, rarely used translucency, may I ask what material it is generally used, play what effect, thank you.

Of course, the obvious use is a lamp shade, where you want light to pass through, but do not want to see the bulb.

You need to balance transparency and translucency.

Translucency defines how well you can see through the translucent surface. 100% means that you can not see through it, but light can pass through it.

Transparency  effects how much light passes through. Some light will always pass through, but if you set Transparency higher, more light will pass through

For example, Translucency 100, Transparency 50 to completely hide items inside the shade, and block some of the light.
