Source or method of creating translucent materials

I've found many sources for materials of all types. However, I've only been using the standard included SU transparent materials. Any sources for others, or instructions on how I can make my own?

Hi,

Translucency/Transparency is controlled here....

You can load any supported image type here...

So it's very easy to create your transparent library

You can also use a transparent image [PNG file] as a texture, and then even with the material's opacity set at 100% you can see through a face that uses it and it will still cast shadows even when very transparent [ http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=260915#p260915 ] - unlike simple materials where low opacity settings stop casting shadows... you need to decide which way you want this to happen........
