Coloured transitions within transparent objects

[Steve Bentley]

Coool! I’m hungry already! Gummies inside gummies. Is that the Corona renderer Brian?
In the sort of meniscus area at the bottom of the outer sphere (where there is no yellow or orange) is that refraction or reflection? If reflection, I don’t see the squiggled floor reflected. Is that a limitation of Corona or a choice?

[Brian Jones]

that’s Corona – the area you are looking at is refraction from the sky image lighting the scene. It actually has picked up the yellow of the larger sphere. I’ll post the file so you and John can play with it if you want. It’s massively simple, of course, but has some things in it you have to get used to with Corona if you are used to more complex renderers (at least to set up) – it’s a lot simpler than most other engines (that I’ve tried) and will also let you use most of cinema’s channel shaders directly (ie all the noises etc) without having to put them in an image node (like in Cycles)
I’m using the latest version the 1.7 beta1 bottom of their downloads page

That image is perfect for what I was trying to do so I’ll download Corona as soon as I’m back on it and see if I can do something nice. I had a look at the Corona website and quite excited to try it out. The interactive way you can change the exposure looks really nice.

Thanks a lot for all the feedback.
