I need to go make something to eat, but meanwhile I thought I'd show you the effect.
Later, I'll post the shader, and an explanation of how it works. You don't need to know how it works to use it. But for those interested, I will show how I constructed it.
First a little explanation of my test scene.
I have two of those subs from Daz. There are also a bunch of poles. The small poles (which are red in the renders) are every 20 feet from the XY plane. Every 100 feet is a large (white) pole.
The camera is in the XY plane.
The closer sub's conning tower is even with the pole that is 100 feet from the camera.
The farther sub's conning tower is 250 feet from the camera, halfway between the 200 foot and the 300 foot pole.
The attached image shows the layout looking from the "Top" camera.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
