Lamp Shades

[Albert D Hart]

I have a user on the SketchUp nXt forum who wants to try to create a dark lampshade:

I am working on a rendering for an event space where I need to create deep  red and black hanging lanterns that you can see the light source through. I have changed the transparency several times, and at each level of transparency the shades come out looking very washed out. I tried using the shade setting on the material edit toolbar, but still no avail. Can you provide any help on this?

Does anyone have any ideas or hints?
