Out of curiosity I did a mock-up of the magnifying glass to test
the magnifying effect in POV-Ray - it worked magnificently!
However, I did not model the ring.

Subject: Modeling the magnifying glass in POV-Ray


I just thought about the magnifying glass the other day.  It
is probably
hard to model in LDraw, but not too hard in POV-Ray.  So, mixing this
part with an L3P'd model could be quite cool.  One could make a
rendering where a specific part in the model is magnified through the
glass.

Has anybody done something like this?

Fredrik

(...) It's that simple? Cool! (...) But I suppose real magnifying glasses have spherical surfaces, not ellipsoids? Compressing a sphere like you do above gives an ellipsoid, right? But then again, the differences are probably not worth noting. (...) (25 years ago, 1-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad)
