Hi
I'm looking for advice on how to create an object out of a few primitives. I've tried it myself without much success. Everything I make looks really crappy.
What I have in mind is something that looks like a crystal ball, filled with a kind of gel or fluid. I want the fluid to look as if it gives off a little ambient light.
I'm planning on putting a sprite inside too, so it looks like there's a head floating inside.
I tried flipping a sphere inside out, and using another one to act as the front half. I made it a little transparent so that you can see the image within. I've messed about with transparency and various effects like full-bright, but it always looks dull, or the sprite inside can't be seen clearly.
So... if anyone can think of a clever trick I would be very grateful. I've been looking for a picture of an object as an example, without success. If I find one I'll post it so that you can get a better idea of what I'm talking about.
