What types of glazing can be modelled?

At present there are three options - glass, di-electric and translucent.

The most common to use is glass -this is a material which models a thin transparent object (like a window).
Di-electric is a more general transparent surface, where the properties can be more explicitly defined (e.g. to model water).
Translucent allows diffuse and specular components to be transmitted in each direction and is appropriate for thin translucent materials.
