  Optical disk texture

  Posted by Tim Brown on May 22, 2008 at 5:12 am

  I would like to emulate the reflective surface of an optical disk (CDRom / DVD).
  A scan of a disk gives a fair static texture but it would be nice to have a dynamic (looking) texture – as happens when you move the disk under light.
  Any ideas?

  You’ll want to use the Spectral Shader.

  Adam – I’m just curious; are you originally from Washington, D.C.?

  Hi Susan,
  I grew up in Bethesda, MD, which is a suburb of DC — but no relation to the President of GW if that’s what you’re thinking. 🙂

  Hi again, Adam. No, that’s not what I was thinking. Did you work at Rodman’s Drug Store as a teenager? Susan
