#Refraction?
PMJI
Gosh, I really like the special effects book and have learned alot –
but – the illustration of the wine glass is not going to win any
contests in competition with a ray tracer. I would guess that the wine
bottle subject was suggested by on of the POV guys since refractions
are the only area where POV has an advantage. The really impressively
creative complex methods 3DS users have come up with to simulate
refractions is an indication of the need for selective refraction
mapping. Ill probably get Rayman for still work but even if it
supported animation it would probably be too slow for that kind of
work. Maybe an animation capable Rayman , travelling alpha, and
videopost would be the closest workaround.
