In the nature,most of flowers,creatures,rocks and minerals have a transparent body.For example ,some rocks is transparent in thin section (0.03 mm in thickness). Glassy flowers is exaggerated expression but it will create only by computer graphics. And transparent objects can express the depth of space easily,and it is very beautiful. I enjoying light,refraction,reflection and color variation. These transparent ,glassy and crystal material is suitable and effective to generate flowers or else beautiful object.I tested this material and generated a lot of CG works. But there are some problems. In ray tracing,this materials requires long time ,rich memories and repeatedly test rendering.
I got some inspiration form 'nature' around me,and in myself. I sketched some flowers,and I watched the structure of plants, and my another interest,rocks and minerals,in thin section, under the microscope,I saw beautiful world of colored light.
There is some beautiful photographs of minerals.

Basult ,a igneous rock,in thin section.
Gabblo in thin section.

And I got inspiration from 'geology' and the stories for children which were written by Michael Ende.
My computer graphics generated by using 'Shade professional R4', a computer software of Expression tools Inc.
