Cool ! Waiting for it !

Yes. Waiting.

Did Matt clarify whether this will be in the future TG2 releases or not? I wonder how important it is to his end goal.

There's an End Goal??

Here you go.

Looks pretty good, maybe a little less Transparency and Reflectivity? Also looks like there's an inner matching object which doesn't quite work or am I may be totally wrong? Admirable effort though.

Ryan, what does it look like with light from above, and camera from the side?

Seth · March 03, 2009, 06:02:09 PM

very very good !!! Oo

how did you do ?!

RArcher · March 03, 2009, 09:24:35 PM

Mohawk, Here is a view from the side, light changed to be from above, and zoomed in a bit.

Franck, All I did was take two spheres distorted with the same powerfractal, one smaller than the other. The small one is translucent and luminous and the larger one has a water shader.

I have to admit, that is cleaver. Any one have a clip file i can test to see what additional effects can be achieved here?

Really cool effect RArcher.

We will be cleaning out the gallery of old or irrelevant images before the site update. When it was originally put in place several years ago the gallery was intended to show what we were working on and experimenting with. Now that it needs to be representative of a real, shipping product, I agree that images like the SSS experiment need to be removed.

I tried this stuff myself. Added the water shader but it all turned black. Got rid of the water shader and left luminosity and translucency. I had the translucency up to 1000 and no light was pushing through so is that shader even working right?

Tangled-Universe · March 04, 2009, 03:11:42 AM

There's no light pushing through because although the upper layer is "infinitely" thin it is also 100% opaque.
So the shader is working correct.

Confusoid · March 04, 2009, 03:18:16 AM

That makes no sense. The purpose of a translucent surface is it is supposed to allow light to transport through it without being entirely clear. Is there any way to fix this?

Seth · March 04, 2009, 03:21:23 AM

thank you for the explaination Ryan ! I am going to try as soon as I can ^^
