Glass Cross

(1/5) > >>

ronaldefarmer:
Yep, it's a glass cross...any comments?

neirao:
nice! what raytrace mode you has use?

ENSONIQ5:
There doesn't appear to be any refraction happening, which makes the cross appear hollow and thin-skinned, kinda like a soap bubble (which is fine if that's the look you were going for).  Any chance of an ART render with refraction/dialetrics?

ronaldefarmer:
I really need to learn to look more carefully at things before I post--I didn't notice that there is a problem with the background image.

I used the scanline renderer, so no, there is no refraction. I wanted the dielectric glass look that you can get with ART, but I like the way scanline handles environment maps and anti-aliasing. Also, I think I would have prefered ambient occlusion rather than raytraced shadows. Maybe I can make a composite to get the best features of Art and scanline. Thanks for the comments. I was expecting someone to ask, "What's keeping the cross from falling over?" or, "What is that surface underneath supposed to be?"

johnar:
 Hello ronaldefarmer,
 I like it.
 
Was wondering, What's keeping the cross from falling over?, and also, What is that surface underneath supposed to be?..
