This topic is directly inspired by @Gijs topic (many thanks) on SubD gummi bears.
I was really taken with the whole sugar thing, and had done some work on it aready in a previous render. I did originally have the nice caustic-like effect through the gems’; but actually most midget gems and such are actually quite dulled and rough.
I used Rhino Nature and of course Bella render here.
If anyone hasn’t tried it yet, bella render now features an excellent external referncing system; ideal for handling large scenes of complex meshes.
