Neon Translucent Plastic

[DaveMDarcy]

Hello,

How can I replicate coloured translucent plastic that appears to glow at the edges? We have this plastic material that almost looks as if it's being illuminated from within and the edges appear to glow, even though it is only the ambient room lighting illuminating it. I'm doing this in the standard/physical renderer and I've tried playing with transparency and the absorption colour. It almost gets me there but it doesn't quite achieve the glow effect at the edges. Any tips or advice would be much appreciated thanks.

Kind Regards
Dave

Hi Dave,

Would this technique help? (Or do I miss what you like to have: Neon-plastic has that light on cut edges, see P.S.)

Typically, the fastest way would be a Post FX> Bloom, but it might affect other areas to look natural, which is perhaps not wanted.

Let me know if that works for you.

My best wishes for your project
