Derec V2 Future is now

This is a detailed description of how it was done... as the light sources helped a lot to enhance the material quality.. thanks again for :fav:


Description of Shape
---------------------

This shape actually is made up of 2 shapes... An internal one (original to the first image unknown roots), and an enlarged version of it (having the longer "roots" on the outside) It's simply a Platanic primitive and then with a Matrix Extrude on it. There are two light sources, one from the front at the right, and another from the middle of the roots to add glow to it.


Settings of light
------------------

front light
- Color: 100,100,100,100
- Type: Omni
(the rest all default)


Light source at the centre
- Color: 100,74,0,80
_ Type: Omni
- shadow: none
- Visible light: Volumetric
(the rest to default)


Settings of Materials
----------------------

- Color: 100, 83, 0, 100
- Transparency: 100,72,0,49
