however, not so good at aiding the creation of very good and effective materials......

here are 4 images, the first being the discovery of the spectral settings....

what i am aiming for is a glass material similar to Johan Thorngren's glass material in this pic:

so, whats the deal, anybody sorted the perfect glass material??

also, the caustics seem to be very hard to simulate with FR, looks like thats the area of the manual i will be going into next.....

any help would be greatly appreciated.........

Have a look at this file:

Its the blue glass 'photo or real' file from the FinalRender gallery, if you take out all the blue filters & SSS it should look like glass...
