[Radiance-general] another water question

[Nicholas Lander]

Hi All,

 

I’ve looked through the archives regarding modelling
water, but the posts seem to be concerned with making
something that looks like water, without being
physically accurate.

What I want to do is test for reflections off a
training pool – the coach needs to see a swimmer’s
action in the pool and early morning sunlight may
cause problems. If I use glass with a bumpy function,
it looks really cool but I’m not sure if the amount of
reflection is right. I tried a dielectric, but the
“water” becomes a mirror.

Is there a material to use that gives properties
closer to water than glass? If so, I’d love to hear
about it.

Cheers

Nick L
