3DL subsurface ice shaders for Daz Studio.

Something that would be really handy would be a variety of icy subsurface material shaders for Daz Studio.  Not just plain colorless or single color ice, but something fancy like this (which I tried, and failed, to duplicate in Bryce a few years back due to lack of the necessary skills.), something that could get some nice optical effects with light behind/through/reflected from it.

    I've had a lot of problems with refraction and sss, so I'd love to see something that worked well like this.

    Not perfect, but inspired to experiment... this is a mix of refraction, opacity color, and some reflection, using UberSurface2 (I assume UberSurface would work just as well) I then added Let it Snow shell to add more texture.

    Three things that are absolutely needed...absorption, refraction (at least for the clear ice) and scattering.  Out of the existing shaders...AoA's SSS may be the best base to start with.
