Getting the damned caustics to work.

Jorganza:
No one knows what caustics are? It is a real word describing the phenomena when light passes through a liquid or glass.

It comes up a lot when dealing with 3D programs like 3DS Max or Maya.
Assmitten, the caustics caused that light on the walls, not the fugly wallpaper and flooring.

Oh, and Simsample - I have left a message with Niol.  I just figured that someone here might know about it, so I'd ask while I waited for Niol to respond.  It took a while last time.


Unfortunately, I believe that niol has left the community.  His last post was Sept 8th at MTS2 and Oct 5th here.  My understanding is that his internet provider decided to refuse access to some of the better TS2 sites.

The problem isn't that people don't know what a technical term in the science of optics means. It's that the word is more commonly used to describe corrosive substances, like sodium hydroxide. Wider-spread definition drives out more specialized meaning.

It's pretty and all, but it's one of those details that is too much for a player like me to fuss with. I never really thought about the fact that they were missing. I bet it would be good for storytellers, though.
