This picture is kind of cool - four multicolored "designer" spotlights, with cloudy atmosphere.

But - it illustrates some problems with Poser's "simple" view of the world. First, the atmosphere is not obeying inverse square law - the smoke should be much brighter near the light sources. Second, IDL does not contribute to atmosphere, so there are many areas where we see IDL (bounced) light but do not see any smoke.

Oh well.


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)
