I did this in Vue 6 Esprit and wondering if it can be done in Indigo 9. Thank you. John Morris

should be doable and look better^^ - although the colour blend might be hard^^

I'm sure it can be done, I don't even think those caustics are right, at least they don't look good to me, yes I'm sure the gradient color will be a bitch.......I'd like to see smeone try it out and post mats....

Thank you guys. It would be great to have blended glass. I do agree that glass and caustics in Vue stinks big time. John Morris

i try too with gradient maps and transparent glass...looks good but not satisfy me....the caustics have one color from the gradient and look not correct.....its a known "bug" to Ono this.....indigo does not native support map for transparencies yet!

yeah, I know...

but there where some interesting SSS mats, that kinda had a gradient function, remember? - maybe, it's possible to get results close to that, with slight SSS

the workaround, I'd know, is, to blend different specular mats or a coloured phong or something... - wouldn't come out too correct, though.
