charleston

Hi all i'm looking for some help, I'm not very experienced with texturing and I'm trying to make an ad for someone basically consisting of winegums (sweets) among other things. I've modelled them fine (i think) but i've spent ages struggling to get the textures right. I want to use an orange gradient background its really messing with the textures and no matter what settings i change i cant get it right. I've been playing around with the transparency and the blurriness and absorption. As you can see here the consistency of the sweets is not dense enough and a lot of colour is lost https://imgur.com/a/kiSfdtn This is the same project with a white background so the colours pop more https://imgur.com/a/k7C17Mt And this is how i want the sweets to look, even on the orange background https://imgur.com/a/vcHYhuF So basically I want the textures to be effected less by the background and for the actual sweets to be less transparent overall. Any help would be hugely appreciated. lots of love 👽
