I can say this one has finished rendering, it has over 20K muxels, I just forget it in a corner Everything is fine since I don't have to reboot anymore to get an internet connection



Yes it's 3d noise generated, nothing dynamic. The main body is translucid while his satellites are lightmeshes. Postpro in Violet exclusively. Here the

of the medium. Not sure how values will scale with your scene tho, to be adapted.

Aren't we monday Well I've done my week

[tungee]

wow! looks superb!
one crit : mat is a little bit reflective!

[CTZn]

Yes, that's because of the ior (1.52, like cristal I think). The most disturbing I think is that it has nothing but the lights to reflect, this makes the shape even more unconsistent

[suvakas]

This looks pretty cool! I specially like the SSS.

crystal has an IOR of minimum 1,5442
maximum is 1,55331
actually, you'd need both IORs in one mat, 'cause of the Birefringence of crystal
(But I think, it's not a feature of Indigo...
Maybe possible with transparent blend-mats )
One question: why do you use that much decimals? Is it exported like this?

[StompinTom]

that material looks really cool! nice render: simple but elegant. only crit id have is darken the background even more (probably reduce the bloom, i guess) and make the material a little less shiny IMO.

[CTZn]

@kram: Yes, it's exported with a precision of 3 decimals but during the process, values are converted to a higher level of precision.

0.843 => 0.8429999948


@StompinTom: On my CRT screen bloom is hardly distinguishable (?) I don't remember the weight (weak) but the radius was pretty high. That's not how people would normally use bloom but heat has a lower energy; so a big radius gives a warmer impression I believe.

About shinyness... again I'm going to add some surroundings to that blob, or maybe have fun with another... Very low ior, or highly absorbant mediums are fun too. I want to test wether the camera can be within a defined medium or not. Maybe something related to camera lens precedence, or simple ior stuff

Gotta test that ! But now let's go for some online gaming
