Looking to create translucent leaves. The intent is that the V4 body texture, when lit from behind shows overlapping leaves through its translucence based on a map (plus whatever is between the light and the material). Yet, no matter what I come up with, I either get a very bright texture with everything translucent, or a dark texture with no translucence. Can't use the transparency as that defines the shape of the leaves of the figure. I've googled just about everything, but all I come up with translucent skin using SSS shaders. Haven't seen a lot of love for the translucence channels in Poser. The picture below was my original idea, but a bit naive as it turns out.

Any suggestions would be most welcome.
