ice shader - any ideas?

[Morbid Angel]

Got stuck with another problem. Got to develop an ice shader. But not just any ice shader. It has to look frosted well like natural ice. I tried the naturalShaders their ice doesnt look good and it doesnt work well with vray. If any of you guys know anything I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks.

Hi Morbid!

Do you have any reference pics of the ice type you're after and in what kind of situations it should work? That would help a lot...
This sounds like an interesting challenge and I'd like to give it a shot.

BTW, did the Watjes plug-in help you with the lava thing?

Mare, no wajes plugin didnt work... its a glu3d mesh and it works in its own way and only its own projection works with it.
I will post some ice types a bit later
