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.

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.

Iridescence
add new material layer
rainbow texture or map
high specularity
copy bump map of lower material to this one
? :)
