jadelicious textures - WIP

I wasn’t completely satisfied with my results for the jade heirloom, so I took another swing at it. Hopefully you will find that these textures are better looking and more realistic

#1 deep jade

last time it looked too much like the fake plastic kind. this one is still very translucent but has variable opacity, which helps it look more realistic

as far as solid jade goes, this is probably the best I can do

this is probably the most realistic depiction of jade, but not the best looking in my opinion...

It kind of looks like a fat frog. I love this color of jade. I have a purse that color!! I get lots of compliments on it!!

  I could get away with this one, but I want to see if I can’t do better…

#4 just for fun

the translucency of the other surface is perfect, but I couldn't apply it properly to the first surface, alas...

  I had two instances, one of which had a placeholder texture. it was supposed to be hidden during renders but one time I forgot and this happened

    It’s amazing though, looks like a snake shedding its skin.

I am making little tweaks to fine tune the material. You’d be surprised what difference even a little change can make…

I have some variants you haven’t seen yet, but if you don’t prefer them I can always revert to real jade…

I really like all of them but the one that pops for me is Real Jade!
