crazy dispersionby =lyc

Scraps©2007-2012 =lyc
i recently implemented refraction (for the first time), and in making the index of refraction vary with wavelength i decided to hack a bit. normally the index of refraction decreases with wavelength, so of course i made it increase :D

this was producing really interesting caustics already, so i put the scene inside a big reflecting ring, which is what causes the nice "dream catcher" like crossing of caustics.

this is amazing, such an excellent idea. Could you apply this effect on any model? I would be more than happy to send some of my models over just to see what they'd look like illuminated with hacked light.

yeah, i have some scrap images (not on da though) where i've applied the technique to 3d model - the image here is done with my 2d ray tracer.

i've given notice to resign from my current job so i can work on 3d rendering tech again, fulltime and for reals, so i will be begging for good test data before too long ;) please feel free to send through anything you like (you'll receive full credit of course!)

Excellent! I've tried playing around with volumetric caustics and refraction but I'm presuming C4D's renderer is not really the best for it since I always give up after waiting for the first preview render..
I added you on google talk,I'll send an obj file to that address when I pick a nice one out!
