An exercise in rendering, something I don't get to do often in our huge pipeline…
Basic comp and color correction, not so realistic, but that's my taste I guess. Photon map flickers a bit but it's kinda low-res so…

Wow, that's gorgeous. The crisp highlights and subtle color blending are thoroughly convincing.

Thanks! Glad you like it!

Agree,the rendering of this animation is excellent!

Thanks!
I'm re-rendering with higher photon cache to get rid of some artifacts and also a better sim to eliminate the extra bounciness… It's looking much better so far.

Cheers

Wow Rafael! great job man!
Do you use a mantra surface for jellys, or other shader?
Congrats!!!

Thanks, Paulo

Believe it or not it's based on the built-in glass shader, but it could have been the mantra surface. The only reason it isn't is that I needed to mess up with the internals of the shader a bit and the mantra surface was a bit overkill…

Cheers

Nice tests rafaels keep them coming.
