[Radiance-general] Simulating light ray movement inside swimming pool water. Light sources not in the water

[Sotiris Papantoniou]

Hello again,

 

At first thank you for the welcome and the immediate answers.

 

Lars, my concern in the dissertation is the glare effect created in the
swimming pool and do not allow a lifeguard to search the bottom of the pool.
According to the theory found till now, I am interesting in the amount of
light reflecting from the surface and the amount that is travelling through
the water till it hits the bottom and all the way up. The ratio of the
intensities will show me how much glare I have in the swimming pool. I have
already found in previous messages a formula in Radiance that calculates
correctly the reflection of light and for this reason I am working for the
amount of light that travels in the water. Thank you for the information
about the dielectric and I think that I will abandon the mist
pseudo-material. Since water is clean in the swimming pool. 

 

Jack de Velpine, I have found already the threads about "water any news ???
" but it seems like there are more mails than those I have found. I will
search them all and I'll try to understand the "rtcontrib" tool. I may come
back with any new questions.

 

Thank you all for your time

 

Sotiris
