A seasonally appropriate project: Icicles. During this stream I will create an icicle render from scratch.
The goal is realistic lighting and shading with a macro camera angle. Meaning up-close and strong depth
of field.
Note that these images are photos and not a preview of the final render. But we'll be creating something along these lines.

UPDATE: Here's the render we'll be creating:

Wouldn't that save some rendering time, maybe?
the color correction was the question lol kent
Damn, not that down xD
Can;t you just link only material??
QUESTION: down here :)
Maybe add some color correction to HDRI to match the reference?
Serious; excellent, I've been dying to see more compositing work.
QUESTION: what is the difference between copying material to all icicles and make them link with material?
:)
that just looked like a labyrint :O
