...having recently seen some really beautiful photos of some bubbles (link posted in the off topic section) i thought i'd see if i could do something similar in maxwell. ...these are at a very early early stage & i need to pretty much re-do everything but i'd be interested to hear your comments and suggestions.

Early stage? They look great!

Maybe the colors could be a little brighter like those photos.

are you using this material?:

[sampson]

..thanks all.

KurtS which material is that? ...am using a material i've put together myself - i still need to put a fair bit of work in to the thickness map i think but have been mostly fiddling round with the lighting for the moment.

I'll post some more images soon. thanks, again.

that's Tom's soap bubble material in the MXM-gallery

Good Job
