Stylized Crystals
I've been trying to figure out how to make a translucent effect for awhile and I finally got it!
Cool thing about this is its just an Opacity map that creates this effect so no other lights or materials.
SketchFab has a really cool Luminance format for Opacity maps (that I don't understand after Googling it and can't replicate in Blender) that gives these crystals a beautiful effect.
This same Opacity map technique should work for Glass and other translucent/transparent objects so I'm excited to see what I can make!
Modeled in Blender and hand painted in Substance Painter.
