An old scenery with a new actor.

Great! This jellyfish would be interesting to do with SSS.

Thx.
Yes, I will try. I'm just afraid of long rendertimes.

That's the first thing, that came into my mind. Be brave! Face the longer rendertime! ;)

echo this, the render should be mind blowing.

Second try, rendered during christmas festivities...  ;D

Actually, I liked the first version better because of the jelly's transparency. Maybe you should also apply some minor bump on the body; it's too even, IMO.

I wonder if you could merge a glass and SSS setup to have a balance between the two like you could with glass alone.

Thanks for the advice.

Here is the next version:

That is much better, IMO. Maybe you should decrease reflectivity or change roughness, as underwater things (fish, whatever) don't have such hard reflections.

Sounds logical as the difference of the refraction index between water and jelly should be pretty low.

I like the hard reflections - regardless if they are realistic or not - just like them :)
