...Did you bring the opacity down?

well, first of all, i do some changes on the rendering of the image: by pressing F10, i go into "Common" menu and then change the "Assign Render" setup ~ on "Production" i change the defoult seting to "mental Ray".

then the rest is just some changes on the materials, like usign a simple material and adding a raytrace on the Diffuse map.., well, i'm not so sure about this last thing becouse i made that 3d shape like three months ago..., i'll try to find the tutorial that i use in this little experiment.

here u have: Mental Ray: Caustics">Link ..and you and your teacher should take a look at this site as well: http://www.tutorialized.com/tutorials/3DS-MAX/1
