    Hello

    I'm lighting 42nd street in March and I have to reproduce the shadow theatre section with front shadow onto a white gauze, and then backlit shadow projection onto the back of the gauze.

    I see it is possible to model a gauze material and map it to a surface.  My question is, what values are typical for the sort of slightly grubby theatre stock white gauze to be representative.  I can adjust transparency anb back projection until it looks OK, but it's difficult to know how realistic that is.

    I believe for shadow theatre the light source would typically be a large fresnel with the lens removed to present as much as possible a coherent point light source.  Is there a way to simulate that in Capture (I'm running 2021)?

    Thanks
