From the Deep

Continuing some work with IES light profiles. I noticed when working with translucent materials I got some "blockiness" under the eye on the shadow. Any tips on improving this? Also when making "skin" style texture how do you increase reflections or sheen?

I can attach the .bip file if anyone would like to make a better version

I would love to play with this for you.

Go ahead and attach the .bip. Would love to see what everyone creates. Honestly, I was wondering when someone was going to use the new KeyShot lights in a deep-sea angler!

I've attached the .bip file

Josh, I've noticed when using IES lights, my models have shown white dots? I thought they would go away once the image was rendered but they do not. You can see a little bit of that on the picture of the fish above.

Happens the same to me...my God..I'm unable to get rid of these dots! I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong!

What's the 'Caustic (experimental)' BOX for? (under the light materials tab)? It seems that when you check it the whole render starts to be filled with these little dots.

Anyways, I need to check up the manual to be honest, I just started to tweak and touch here and there without even knowing what I'm actually doing haha.

Any tips on creating a "slimy" skin like texture?
