Showing how light behaves

[nagboy]

Cheers,

Im making some still pictures showing how light reflects / refracts through different materials (showing lightbeams). Ive tried with a few different methods, but with no luck, i vagely remember some images on this board showing such a thing. can someone point me in the right direction?

There is a very good explanation of this showing how Refraction values contribute to light beam direction in an earlier thread - i am searching for it and i will tell you.

That post was in the bug section, it is gone now "The topic or post you requested does not exist" . If I remember correctly Vlado used a direct light aimed slightly down across a plane with caustics on.

Hi!
I remember the thread you're talking about, but after submitting some searches i guess it must have been in the Bug Report section - and unfortunately all posts once got lost after a hacker attack. Anyway, maybe I just didn't find the right keywords

Regards,

Vlado,

I too would quite interested in have a look at those scenes.

Any chance you could send them my way as well
