In the process of designing a raw crystal amulet for my characters, I came up with this simple bracelet and thought I'd share it as a freebie!

I've been looking for a suitable Firefly crystal material for a long time that would both render quickly and look like raw quartz, which is essentially opaque-ish white with varying degrees of translucence and a Blinn-like specular shine (not the kind of highlights produced by Reflection). When I couldn't find one, I spent a few weeks coming up with my own, using transparency, bump, and color maps along with a variety of procedural nodes. 

I've tested these materials under several different lighting setups and adjusted them accordingly, but I'm curious to see how they hold up under other people's lighting setups, so I'd really appreciate some feedback (and seeing sample renders!) 

Package includes:

- 1 bracelet in OBJ and PP2 format

- includes smart-prop versions for V4 and M4

- includes 2 UV-map options:  1CrystalMatZone & 3CrystalMatZones

- 10 Metal mats in MT5 format

- 22 Band mats in MT5 format

- 25 color Crystal mats in MT5 format

- 26 white Crystal mats in MT5 format

- 2 light sets

Set up in Poser Pro 11 but should work in earlier versions of Poser from 9 and up. Not tested in DAZ Studio.

Please see the Readme in the Documentation folder for info on poly count, customizing materials, and tips on lighting and rendering, as well as my contact info.
