I found these examples, http://www.nunatsiaqonline.ca/pub/photos/narsaq2.jpg http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/11/12/article-0-15FC1CCD000005DC-951_964x642.jpg which show that yes light can do that to ice however like I said it’s not about the idea itself but the execution of it. When light shines behind ice or snow it doesn’t just look like some cheap, smeared-on overlay layer of colors. The subsurface scattering on ice/snow is an important effect that makes both look semi-translucent. One cannot even argue that because of FR’s celshading style they wouldn’t have been able to do subsurface scattering because they already broke away from a straight celshading style to slap on that lazy overlay layer.
