I think your candy coat secret is safe, cause if I've gotten maybe a small part I certainly don't have all of it :P Not even close...lol. I have an idea but no clue how to implement it. I'm revisiting the chalcedony shader, with which I wasn't at all happy. Chacedony is rather clear around the edges as you look at it then gets more and more translucent the deeper into the stone. I'm somewhat satisfied with what I've got - I wish it was more clear around the edges, but oh well ;). Is it possible to plug a ridiculous number into an edge blend? Like 20 or more? I have the outer color going to a refract and the inner going to a scatter. Or should I be plugging something into the edge blend's attenuation? Signed, Totally Clueless
