surface settings for metal are pretty simple. plastic is even moreso. since transparency, translucency and opacity are three entirely different settings, you can imagine how difficult something like this is

#1 ni

looks more like glass or plastic

the reflections look nice

completely different material

rendered this in the wrong camera, so it didn't work right

I love it. You caught my eye because I thought it was a photo of an amythist at first.

San and Shi seem out of the 4 to work best. Nice progression!

    sometimes inspiration is 99% perspiration and 1 % luck.

      indeed. working digitally is much less labor intensive, so experimentation comes at a much lower cost

        that is my argument for digital cameras.
        
        but your creativity, that comes from you not the digital!

        no question about it, the creativity is in that artist, not the media
        
        but when I was a traditional artist, I wasn’t nearly as experimental as I am now…
