OK I'm rendering a dragonfly in Vue Infinite - and using Vue Infinite materials editor to change the things around. Any suggestions on how to achieve some nice insect-like effects. I would like to get transparent and irridescent wings and retain the vein-lattice effect.

Any idea where I can get good insect-wing textures?

Any ideas about lighting?

any help/suggestions gratefully received.

Best

The power pixie at daz has great dragonfly wings. With the improved mat sttings I included with that update to the pixie, they looked killer!

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
