How the heck do I create this....

Hi,

Can anybody point me in the right direction to getting the above material? It looks like smoke but has a shine. I’m a serious novice who’s ambition is far outweighing my ability, but I’d like to try to find a solution. I’ve created fire and smoke but they’re a) fire and smoke coloured and b) not shiny.

It would be amazing if anyone has some useful pointers/tutorials/c4d files/anything. I have C4D R19.024/XParticles 4/Redshift (but do have cycles4D as well)/FH Turbulence

Hi avidfan, from a rendering point of view, the material looks like colored glass, with reflection and refraction, fresnel and a high glossiness. I’m not sure whether Cinema4D\Cycles4D has a built in glass material you could use?
