Does anyone have any tips on making a rice paper texture? You know, that
kind of oriental, translucent fibrous wall-stuff. I know I've seen this in
several places, but I can't get mine to look like anything at all. The only
thought I have is and averaged bunch of rotated crackle. Am I on the right
track? Is there a texture out there like this already?

Thanks.

IMO the problem with textures of this nature in POV is not necessarily the
surface colour itself but the translucency.  The texture simply never looks
right without it, and I haven't found a way to defocus translucent light
properly yet.

AFAIK an interior with a scattering media is the best (but not fastest)way
to achieve that
