strange raycasting (or whatever) thing?

strange raycasting (or whatever) thing?

Hi Flinx,

just some questions:

- does your light(s) actually cast shadows?
- where is the main light placed exactly
- is there another light behind the head?

Probably the eye is not 100% solid and a shadow light from behind is
responsible for that if the head is not completed behind.

Just an idea.

R,
President

hello boys and girls.
<<<<<sorry for huge the pictures>>>>>>>>>

something strange happening here and i sort of tried everything, maybe
someone had stuff like this, too.

we have got this:
 which is not acceptable.

the only way (after checking ALL the textures and ALL the lights) i got rid
of this, was:
 which is kind of right, if the eye wasn't hidden.

now, there are no caustics, no FG, no nothing in this scene.

how come this eye is causing this effects and (funny thing) NOT causing this
effect on the other side of the nose, where the eye is the same.
the only difference is the mainlight is on this side of the woman. ?????????
the lights are area lights, but even when turning them off this happens.

maybe i'm just dumb but i checked everything i know off.

any help would be appreciated.

thanx,

FLINX
