I was trying to get something useable without a plugin… Carrara’s built in fresnel works to make the center of the refractive object show it’s effect. For a good atmosphere glow you’d want the edges to show more effect….

Did you try subtracting the fresnel from a value?

I’m not sure that would be possible because of where the fresnel control is located. It is not in the “tree” so I am not sure how that could work….

ah, never mind. I was thinking of Fake Fresnel which is an add on

Hi,

If you really want to do this with just the built in shader functions, try the fresnel setting in the SSS channel.
I’d still use a little blur on the SSS layer in post to soften the edge.
