While you now have the Cycles "Glass" shader with gamma correction in a single node and don't have to assemble it from Reflect + Refract + Fresnel + Blender, you lose options that way. In order to get more realism, sometimes you'll want to mix Refract with Diffuse in patterns, and you still need the surface (Reflect + Fresnel) to do its thing regardless. This is why I keep them separate for the most part even though there are 1-node solutions for water.
So - Another thread you may find useful. The techniques in this thread are applicable to SuperFly. In theory you'd use the Absorption volume scatter for some of these effects but I find it difficult to control.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
