I've got a small problem… I'm using Imagine v1.0. And I can't get any
object to be transparent at all. I have attributes filter set all the way
up, reflect at zero. Etc. And color set as black. The index of
refraction is set at 1.82.
My scene has 3 lights: 2 above and to each side, and a white source in the
middle of a pyramide of spheres defined above.
The spheres after rendering, have a smooth opaque color to them. But you
cannot see the white source in it, only through the cracks. I was
rendering in full trace mode.
Is this a problem in Imagine? Or is there something I'm not doing? If so,
how would I make a glass sphere in Imagine?
Also…. For rendering…. What are the Aspect values for Digital
Creation's DCTV? Or how can I find out? The res is 768 by 484.
Thanks,
Andrew Hobbs
