Description
Decided to go with what I love - Reflections and Refractions; sooooo I decided to put this poor cross through some interesting contortions:Glossy metallic with diffuse strength of 54.3%; glossiness at 100%; Specular Strength at 0%; Opacity at 45%; Reflection and refraction strength at 100%; and the Refraction index of 2.35; used one distant light then rendered the image using only the GPU on the graphics card (IRay)
it took two hours to render and this is the result:
thank you for all the wonderful and fun comments as well as the faves and likes.
this render was a lot of fun to do

Fantastic result, great image, Mike!
What a cool experiment and render, Mike! Makes me feel like you X-rayed it and discovered an inner crystal structure. Like those crystal skulls they can't explain. No tool marks and stuff.
Stunning!!!
OK - this looks really awesome, Mike - and I'm taking notes on your settings.... My render times are excruciatingly long, so I know I'm doing something wrong... I've not fiddled with any of those settings at all - yet. But the learning journey is (at lest) half the fun.
Excellent!
Equally excellent! Well done!
Stunning results!
Yeah, the material looks really fantastic with that reflections. Very well done, Mike!

It is so worth that 2 hours hard work of you, Mike. A fantastic as surprising result you have doing so.
It looks like it is made of glass.
It made me happy!
nice
Excellent job Mike!
Wonderful work Mike
Very interesting result, Mike! Well done! Bravo!
I was reeeealllly out to lunch when you posted this with your detailed explanation of how you did this. I wish I understood it. But you made a glass sculpture, with abstractions and stylizations of the skulls, etc, and it's splendid. The bottom is like pieces of leaded glass used as chimes in very expensive homes. Or the dangling elements of an opulent chandelier. Wonderful work.
great
