sugar material

Post by lape » Tue Nov 25, 2014 4:14 am

I have tried for hours now to creat some sugar material like MRoz did here:

The best I could achieve by now is this:

I have used a transparent glossy material for the bears, an scattered small crstals over the surface. But I don't get this wanted sparkling effect. An ideas?

try a smaller fill light and some aperture diffraction perhaps ? Less cristals, and bigger ones too. MRoz knows ^^

What is the crystal shape, and which material is it made of?

I tried difference shapes, the actual one is just a cube with a phong material.

No phong, you need a specular such as glass with no absorption.

Or at least, if you stick to phong, use a pure black diffuse color. But specular will always look better. Because a non transparent cube face will reflect light in a single direction, while a glass-like cube will create many rereflections, similar to a diamond.

Like CTZn, I would say less cristals, and bigger ones
