  Re: "Illusions"
 
(...) Looking at your file made me notice something that tells me definitely that you and David are correct. I never noticed before that there is a filter value in there after the rgb vector. Naturally that would skew things a bit. So David was (...) (21 years ago, 3-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)
 
  Re: "Illusions"
 
(...) Well, let me try it. I tried RGB values for the flames of 1,0,0 - 0,1,0 - 0,0,1 1,1,1 - 0,0,0 respectively. (URL) Deeps (each image under 12K): (5 URLs) But looking at the results it just confuses me more. What do you think? Are these the (...) (21 years ago, 3-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)
 
  Re: "Illusions"
 
(...) I've played around with this a bit and I think what is happening is that you're trying to accomplish several things at once, and some collide with others. By setting the transparency and transmit values high, you're bascially instructing the (...) (21 years ago, 3-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: "Illusions"
 
(...) I've never done CGI artwork before, so I couldn't say how this Filter function should work. I did, however, study theatrical lighting design in college, so I have some solid knowledge about how light works. For instance, if you place an object (...)

(...) The data contained in either environment variables or ini files should have exactly the same format. (...) Trailing blanks are preserved in both env var and ini files. So I still don't think quotation marks are necessary... (...) I didn't mean (...) (21 years ago, 3-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Numbers Report - 02 March 2004
 
(...) It is pretty meaningless doing a numbers report in the midst of a parts update. The increase in held files is a temporary artifact to keep dependent or non-referenced files out of the update. Chris (21 years ago, 3-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

  Re: "Illusions"
 
(...) Well, it certainly sounds logical, but I thought that was what 'filter' did. Well, let me have a look at the documentation. ... Here we are: The 4th component, called filter, specifies the amount of filtered transparency of a substance. Some (...) (21 years ago, 2-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

  Re: "Illusions"
 
(...) Did you make it more transparent for the full spectrum, or just red and/or green? If you didn't increase the transparency for blue at the same time, maybe it's allowing orange light through while causing blue to reflect. (...) If my theory is (...)

  Re: "Illusions"
 
(...) I was trying to make the flame pieces a little more transparent. I thought there were a little too "strong." It was just a little overbearing. I've used rgbt to great success before with the (URL) Town Square Fountain>, so I thought I'd try it (...) (21 years ago, 2-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)
 
  Re: "Illusions"
 
(...) That is pretty cool looking, in a somewhat indefinable way. (...) Can we at least ask you what you were trying to do? Which part of it were you not expecting to happen? (21 years ago, 2-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)
 
  Re: "Illusions"
 
(...) No, I was editing the properties of the transparent color using Transmit. The only code I changed was for Color57, here: #ifndef (Color57) #declare Color57 = #if (version >= 3.1) material { #end texture { pigment { [rgbt < 1,0.4,0,.8 >] #if (...) (21 years ago, 2-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)

  Re: "Illusions"
 
(...) Can you upload the pov-file? I'm sure the answer is hidden in there :) I think that you have used the "looks like" option of a light. I had always problems with that option and got nearly similar results. (21 years ago, 2-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

  Re: LDRAWPREDIRS LDRAWPOSTDIRS - additional search paths
