Making that real cold icy look 2005-06-01 - By Douglas Alden Peterson

> Any suggestions?
If you can track down the tutorial about shading ice cubes
by "The Iguana," Steve McArdle (Is that the right spelling?),
it will help you with the icy look. Steve was a veteran Ray
Dream/Carrara user and he did a superb job. I just tried to
locate the tutorial through Google without success.
One of the secrets that I remember in that tutorial is that
you need to place ripples in the Bump channel, use Refraction
and increase the ray depth to 12 or so. Caustics will help, too,
although Iguana's tutorial came out before Carrara had
caustics.
Use the "Elevation" attribute in the shader tree to place
snow on top. It won't have volume to it, but it will frost
the top to by using the "slope" settings.
