Sample_Refractions

Post by jwwalker »

This may be a dumb question, but what is Sample_Refractions supposed to show? I see shiny transparent bubbles, but nothing I'd call refraction, i.e., no distortion of the checkerboard pattern behind the bubbles.

There's a wall showcasing the refractions.
Here's how it's supposed to look:

Hopefully this is a case of "didn't pay enough attention" and not a "it's broken on Metal" :lol:

OK, I see it now. When the program starts up, the "wall" is edge-on, and I didn't recognize that it was significant. I thought the transparent bubbles were supposed to be refractive.

Well the bubbles do slightly refract, I see some offset when close to transparent (0),
it's only in 2 presets of F4 cycle (those with refractions).
You can spot it close versus checkered floor.
But honestly looks more like some error or constant offset, surely not proper sphere refraction.

Well whatever. Main refraction is with that textured center glass piece.
