I enjoyed both the aim of the tutorial, that is, rendering ice and ice text, and the other useful information related to lighting, rendering, viewport navigation, etc., that you included. The result is a nicely paced tutorial that focuses on a specific task AND teaches you about Blender in general. Thank you.

Thank you so much I’m watching all of your videos and making new things

But, if you want to add some kind of whiteness to it, just use the Principle Volume node. And then, add a rough displacement, to make it look like lines frozen in the ice.

Nice tutorial ! You helped me a lot ! Thanks G

Cool video - no pun intended. How do I get the ice-transparency to export in a .fbx? Looking at other tutorials, it involves UV-editing and baking, but I don't see that option on this object.

[ColindeSilva]

How would you export this type of texture to Da Vinci Resolve? Resolve Fusion can import FBX, which can store textures, but is baking necessary first or something like that? When I import to Resolve, it is white, like pre-render.
