[Radiance-general] water - any news???

[Giulio Antonutto]

"You might be able to get Radiance to find the sun for a still body of
water using the 'prism2' type, but you have to know what you're doing.
How important is this to you?  If you're just going for looks and not
very interested in physical accuracy, go ahead and use 'glass'.  At
least you will be able to see the bottom of your pool that way.
-Greg"

 

Just going through and old question... simulating water properly.

Did anybody do anything bout this in the last 10 years? Any news? All
still using glass? 

For who may not know the interface/dielectric primitive struggle to
solve the direct light component, hence it is not trivial to simulate a
pool with Radiance.

We incidentally realized of this problem when dealing with water in
daytime, which indeed looks very dark...

(in fact for nighttimes shots a wavy mirror is often good looking
enough...)

Any input?
