Anim8or v0.98 Discussion Forum / art tracer dielectric shadow and shading bug?
« on: December 17, 2008, 03:02:09 am »
below is a render of two spheres that doesn't really make sense to me
each sphere has a dielectric material
and inside each sphere is another sphere
the difference is the left sphere has a larger inner sphere
now, why does the left sphere have a visible inner sphere
at first i thought i was the unit distance attribute of the dielectric material
but i experimented with that and it didn't seem to do anything
but even if it is, it would still not make sense;
the shadow of the dielectric sphere would have rendered the inner sphere completely black, like the right sphere
