betty Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 another quickie! i simply cannot get the index of refraction working in Houdini apprentice ( v5.5.36 ) for the supermatSHOP. i simply applied it to a sphere with the alpha para down for transperancy and a texture behind it on another geometry but when i alter the index of refraction i see no difference in the rendered image, i've gone from 0.8 to 1.8 with no difference. i'm wondering is there something else i should be doing? though i guess it should be pretty much straight forward. lost and confused btw, i've tried the v_glassSHOP and the index of refraction works on that but i'm just after the extra parameters offered by the v_supermatSHOP.

TheUsualAlex Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 Hmm... weird... I don't have v_supermatSHOP... I think I should install 5.5.36 then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUsualAlex Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 Neat. 5.5.36 will use my existing Houdini license (not hte beta license). I can even use dual proc rendering as well. Whohoo. However, you're right, Betty about the refraction. I am not certain why, unfortunately. I'll try to find out. Anyone knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenong Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 Yep, the refraction is not working. Cheers! steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
