Are you using Absorption/Fog for the Blue in the sphere's, or just refraction color?

This is fantastic, but I just couldn't figure it out O__O

hio, looks awesome, ive been trying to get a similar effect with maya and mental ray, with the reflections and the refracted light on the ground, but i cant seem to get the light to refract through, all i get is a shadow of the speres....

could you give me any hints or direction o a good tutorial on the matter?

thanks^^

and keep up the awesome 3d!

raytracing, final gather, and max trace depth settings all help with this, thanks for the comment

you need to change the mapping setting for that HDRI, thats why the reflections look a bit off. Other than that, its pretty good.
