Nice and funny image.
Talking about sub surface,
I used the lambert-shader to achieve something at least similar, and although my ice is not as realsitic as yours, maybe yours could also benefit from that method?

Yes, I remember your image. Looks really great and I did a lot of tests with the lambert shader.
I could be wrong, but as far as I remember Matt mentioned somewhere that the lambert shader is nothing more than a simplified ordinary shader with translucency settings.
Anyway we do need subsurface scattering. This is one of the things I miss most in TG!

Great work!

Great ice shelves, nice work Hannes

Looking forward to see your next one!

Essentially correct. There is nothing special about its Translucency function vs., say, the Default Shader.

Thanks for your confirmation Oshyan. One more reason to introduce a subsurface scattering shader into TG!
Well? Well?

[Oshyan]

I'll get right on that with all my programmyness.

Wow...I sure don'r trawl this forum enough. I keep missing awesome images. Well done. I'll admit music is consuming way more of my life so I do less sitting and looking with guitars in easy reach.

Thanks, Bobby!
