Is Transmission Depth more or less the same as Attenuation?

[SmokeyBear]

Newbie question - just coming from another Rendering Engine and trying to learn.

Or is the Transmission Weight a decent equivalent?

Or a combination of both of them, depending upon the strength of the light(s) used in each specific scene?

From the docs:

"Controls the depth into the volume at which the transmission color is realized. Increasing this value makes the volume thinner, which means less absorption and scattering. It is a scale factor so that you can set a transmission color and then tweak the Depth to be appropriate for the size of your object."

Thank you! Just the answer I was looking for.
