Hello,
i could need some help creating a frosted plastic material. So far my trys havent been very successful so its much appreciated if anybody could give me some hints or pointers how to tackle this material.
Its a kind of frosted plastic material, looking at the side its quite frosted, looking from the front its still frosted but you can see through and the background color is changing, while on top its almost clean...
Attached is a real life image + a quick test render what i got so far.

thanks for any pointers in advance, regards
Olli

    • Here i am
you could try layered material with AO or vertexpaint or something like this..So the black areas will be less transparent and the white will more transparent..
may be try to make boarders thicker

Thanks guys, i probably fake it because this color change is giving me a lot of headaches and the client is very picky about it.

To me this looks like this would be achieved with glossy reflection/refraction coupled with some minor SSS.
Vray who?
