Description

Thanks to Calyxa, I learned of a bug in MJW...I tried and tried to render this with shadows...No avail, there is a bug with imports and reflections and or refraction on the objects material... I could have painted in the shadows on this, but it shows the bug... I used a displacement texture to create the bump map on the crystals... Oh well.... I have faith it will be fixed in time....

Where did you get those crystalls? Did you do it yourself? They look like they have displacements which I couldn't do without loosing tranparency.

gorgeous, Bruce. I can see how shadows would add a lot to that pic... Al - displacements and transparency work fine together -- it's when you have transparency and shadows that it comes out all black... the displacement is a moot point - it's the ray tracing stuff (true reflection, true refraction) and shadows that do not play well together.

Alan, I wish I could remember where I got the model.. I'd have to look.. Calyxa, I just thought if the crystals cast a shadow on the ground.. It would look more grounded..
