Yes, getting a plausible shape helps a lot, because then the lighting calculation does the hard work. As noted, the spectrum I used isn't at all accurate but it gets the idea across. You can try varying the power in the denominator of f for different effects. Smaller values (eg 1.35) will give you a more crinkly surface, higher values (eg 1.65) will appear smoother.

@Sneeze, "if we remove the black boundary line" - add BoundaryStyle -> None to Simon's plot. "fill the region below the plotted surface" - and add Filling -> Bottom too.

In comparison, your plot is more like the surface of the ocean, which may get a better look if we remove the black boundary line and fill the region below the plotted surface with clear water. :) | |
