Not sure what you mean by "milky." Something like this perhaps?

You could just make a prim white and give it a 50% transparentcy. But i bet you have tried that already.

/waves to PetGirl, Hi

There are some snow textures in the winter atoll folders that might work reall nice for you too. Good luck!

OR....

alternatively, you could just make the prim plain white (No texture, just color) and then use the transparency setting to make the level of opacity you want.

I have had some luck using this method for reproductions of frosted vaseline glass items.
If you want shiny without using the shiny slider, though, you are going to need a new texture.

On a side note, I notice that pure prin modeling is EXPENSIVE! A cluster of grapes averages 20 prins... add three of those to a two prin compote bowl and we're looking at the same number of prins to build a small HOUSE! Am I the only anal retentive freak that does this?? Is ANYBODY rich enough to afford prin-modeled luxury items in their homes? Between the artist's time and the princount against land, it's gonna be tough to have more than one or two as non-worn items...
THanks for your patience and sorry for the digression.

Pet, if you do want to learn photoshop...what i think you would like to do here can probably be achieved using a technique found in this tutorial ..

http://www.silentcollision.com/sc/tut_psfadinggradient.html

called a gradient fill. you can just use different levels of white and gray rather than the blues. then, if i'm not mistaken you should be able to apply it to a prim and just set the transparency to like 70% or whatever.
