Iceman Render Setup

Hey,

I spent alittle time last night setting up a render scene for my busts im currently working on. I created an inital shader for the skin and alittle platform and pipe setup so its grounded.

I'm still working on the shader somewhat to get the skin penetration to be alittle more realistic and more texture work to go on the acutal bust.

Hope you guys like
