Hi all,
(sorry for the small attachment but it is impossible for me to FTP anything
outside of the building I'm in.) Anyway the attached scene shows the problem
that I have, I'm using a scalar state node set to ray length to drive the
blend between two phong shaders. (All the spheres in the scene have the same
shader)
Now this shader works great until the ray passes through a transparent
object, ( turns into a secondary ray.) at which point the ray length is
reset and measured again from that point. ( obviously not what I need:)
Anybody ever had this/ know a way around this problem?
Thanks in advance,
m@
