Raven,

I certainly expected the answer to be yes. But I tested it before I posted. The base shader node has Translucent controls, and this was what I understood them to be for. However, at least in P6, it doesn't work. Face_off found this as well. The translucent color input behaves just like the ambient color input or the alternate diffuse color input or the refraction color input. In other words, whatever you plug in or set, it gets added to the render unmodified by light or shadows.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
