Shut these guys up!

Post by BbB » Sat Nov 24, 2007 6:35 am

Could someone with the proper access go there and tell these guys Indigo can do caustics under water without problem! It's just deeply annoying to read these guys repeating over and over again that no unbiased renderer can do it
:x :x :x

Well...i think could be enough to put under their eyes some simple screenshot took from CoolColJ testing underwater cautics thread...

Before proceeding probably we should ask CoolColJ what he thinks bout it.

someone ... I would say they'll post it, hehe. ;o))

Well, not too many releases ago, Indigo wasn't very fast in showing under water caustics (if you view them from above the surface)... Ono had to speed it up in the last few releases. CoolColJ's intensive testing helped to show the difference, I'd say ;)
And IanT has some special code, just for sun rays (I dunno, what exactly Ono did... maybe something similar to what IanT did?)

I thought Thomas. An was a very techy guy with great skills, but the simple fact that he believe (or that NL let him spread that rumor to appear "higher" tech ?) that maxwell is a MLT renderer is deceiving.
