I have a similar question related to the type of material. I am trying to find methodologies to model the material interior wait curtains or diffusing panels like:

How can we define the level of diffusing "intensity"? Or is it only possible to work with transmittance and reflectance? My model is predicting high values of illuminance and I would like to diffuse the solar rays.

I was checking "glaze" script but, from my understanding, it only includes the inner ray reflectances within a glazing system.

May I ask you what type of material did you use?

Thank you in advance
