Hi,

I’m currently trying to make candied fruits in Unreal like in the reference images.

I tried looking for somewhat clear ice and water tutorials and what not to start off but I haven’t been successful so far in creating anything decent.
Does anyone have suggestions or clues as to what to do?

Thank you!

Try using sub surface scattering, like what skin shaders use.
