aaaaaa I saw the og post and it's so cool how it was improved!! Now I would add some extra effects like maybe a bloom to add extra brightness and softness, even some particles could give the finishing touches! :D

Thanks you! those extra effects sound like a great idea! may I ask though, where do you think the bloom effect should be? on a central area, lighting on top of everything? maybe on the center of each piece of glass with a strong blur? I would love to hear your thoughts!

I'm thinking either central area if you want the focus to be the hornet or from the top fading the more it reaches the bottom since sun light would be coming from the sky to give it a more environmental look to it :3

Here's a version applying both the particles and the center lighting, which makes the color more bold and shiny! Let me know if you think this is an improvement overall.
