Image for translucent materials

translucent materials

Translucent materials allow some light to pass through them, but not clearly enough to see detailed images on the other side. Think of frosted glass or certain plastics—light filters through, creating a diffused glow, but you can't see sharp details or objects behind them. They are different from transparent materials (like clear glass) that let you see clearly through, and opaque materials (like wood or metal) that block all light. Translucent materials are often used for privacy, soft lighting, or decorative purposes, balancing light transmission with obscurity.
