From yesterdays thread, I located the culptit...Crystal (photo1). Just could not get rid of the artifacts with settings, lights, anything. Love the refraction that was happening (what I'm after). Pretty girls with bad eyesite...my favorite.

So...changed to glass-dumped the image map and sphere, then added on ray trace reflect and refract nodes. Tried to make them identical to the crystal settings...no go. Anybody good with refract settings?

Ajax is your man. He has some P5 tutorials over at Fallen City. There's also a pack of his shaders in Freestuff.

There is a list of refration numbers available through Robin Wood's website that are very handy to have./

Can you post a screenshot of the material room for both the crystal and your glass material? If you don't have a screenshot utility, ScreenHunter is a good free one.

Also, do check out that free shader pack of mine. There are some glass shaders in there, one of which might be OK.

Thanks all. Sorry, Ajax- you caught me. Can't post the matroom and have messed with the dials too much. I'm sure the solution is in the falloff dials (etc) for crystal at least. I did pop the raytrace bouces up to 6 before P5 died (earlier). I have your shader pack in hand. Time to get at it I guess.

You could also try turning off shadow casting for the glasses, just to see if that makes any difference.

Er.. if you're on a pc, simply pressing prn scr (Print screen - the key located usually in the middle of the block of keys right to your F12) will make a screenshot.. and put the pic to your clipboard, from where you can paste it into any image-processing program (Even Paint will work) So what's the idea in screen-grapping software? (I know some, like HyperSnap can dump things that a normal print screen can't do, but for ordinary screenshots?)

I didn't even know you could do that, Trekkie. Thanks for the tip. Now that I do know, the only point of screen grab software I can think of is that it lets you get a selected area or a window instead of the whole screen and you can choose whether to include the mouse cursor or not.

Alt+print screen will give you the active window only, as well, instead of the entire screen.

Yes Alt+Print screen takes the active window. I have a feeling that ctrl-print screen also should do something special but I don't remember what and I can't see any difference between that and a regular print screen :o)
