On the opposite side the picture doesnt reflect with a big picture. Here I did it with the caligari logo. note that it lights the scene with the color of the logo. if you dont want that and want white light you will have to ad them.;) Peter Post by tahnoak // Jan 24, 2009, 12:11am tahnoak Total Posts: 487 Peter....perfect! That's the ticket! Also, that is some awesome glass. Of course now you have gone and shown everybody how my scene SHOULD have looked :D Post by RAYMAN // Jan 24, 2009, 1:15am RAYMAN Total Posts: 1496 Tahnoak ! If you render something like a snowball theres lots of advice to give to someone but its still hard to do so I rather show then explain in to many words. It boils down to having the right render engine to do that typ of job. Lightworks is right for many things but not for water in glass. It even isnt good to use a biased render engine for that typ of work. Unbiased like Metropolis light transport have a clear advantage here. theres some free ones ( I used the Mlt Bpt render engine from Kerkythea here) and some very expensive ones like Fryrender and like Maxwell.... The advantage is that it doesnt calculate what it thinks it should look like but sends out virtual photons and looks at what they would do. Thats an easy explanation for MLT..... If your interested in using MLT I will be glad to help you ! The downside is it takes an awfull lot of time to render....;) Peter
