Hi guys,
Is it possible to get such a material in Keyshot?

The tricky part here is the semi-translucency. I.e. the thin parts have some transparency.
The Translucent materials in KeyShot 6 don't support that.

KeyShot 7 will have a new material type with advanced scattering that does support this.

Attached is an example.

You're welcome, Martin.  ;)

It will be a flexible material with quite a wide range of applications. Basically anything that involves scattering in some way or another.

You should check this out: https://www.keyshot.com/forum/index.php?topic=13949.0

This is an amazing material done by Eric. Not easy, but possible as you can see.
