Most of the tutorials for max are for basic things. It's so nice to see how others do things. You go "huh, never thought of that". that is how an artist grows in my opinion
Whenever you release a video, I get a snack and watch it fullscreen for its entirety. It's always amazing discovering how you approach various shaders, learning a ton from you ! Thank you very much
Wow Jonas thank you for another excellent video! I love the plane you created to give the illusion of the imperfections within the crystal, and a noise in the opacity was a good idea. lots of great tips in this video, you pretty much covered all aspects of refractive materials in one hit! thank you!
Woow awesome. Thanks for your tutorial. How did you make the background ? Your lighting is cool. and how do you get good refraction of your material without using a floor ? 😮
Love the tutorial, going to try and see if I can do this in Blender as I don't use Max.... hopefully can figure similar settings which I think is very similar. As one of the best crystal tutorials i've seen.

Once geometry refraction is involved there is always a certain amount of time that you need to plan in, but you can reduce be increasing the refraction glossiness, using environment maps for reflection/refraction or limiting the reflection/refraction depth. Also you can try to rely on your denoiser more and decrease the overall sampling.
