Used in this image, http://www.bryce5.com/details.php?image_id=4680&mode=search This material has been created to test one of the experimental rendering methods described in http://www.daz3d.com/i/shop/itemdetails/?item=12687 To get the material to function as it does in the example render care must be taken to set up the lighting environment. The sun does not produce any diffuse light only 100 specular. This provides the strong highlights. The render mode is TA with scattering correction. TA optimised IBL using one of Horo HDRI is used, the intensity is set at maximum and then applied to light source and the effect is then set at maximum. The material values or light level may have to be adjusted depending on the HDRI used.
