Cue the dog in a lab coat.

Futzing with VRay materials.
I like the speed but really miss the multi-layer materials ala' Lightworks.

What? I have trouble making an ice material in Kerkythea and you make this and bam! ... ice! One object looks like ice.

Glad you are doing some CG. There's been little activity on the forum.

Subsurface scattering is the material. Wasn't trying to make ice. Somehow the scatter foreground shader was switched on, which accounts for the grain and faux DOF. Just a few more tweaks and I'll never get it to look the same ever again!

Woah yeah the DOF is really intense! Makes it all the more mystery. Is it a squirrel?
