Larry J B Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Hello: I am rusty with texturing. I remember seeing a magnifying effect where I can make a magnifying glass handle AND circular lense and use something that when rendered will act as a magnifying lense effect. Anyone know of one? Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted April 25, 2011 Hash Fellow Posted April 25, 2011 For the lens, carefully model a disk with a convex surface on each side. Make it transparent, with an Index of refraction greater than 1 Quote
brainmuffin Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 The simplest method would be to model a sphere, flatten it a bit, set the transparency to about 99%, and set the refraction to between 1 and 2, I believe. Quote
GAngus Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 There's a nice Magnifying Glass tutorial project on one of the AM Extras DVD. Hmmm... let me see... Here, I will try to include it here if it's OK.... Magnifying_Glass.zip Quote
John Bigboote Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 There is a model in the Contributors Cue called 'Benslens' or rather FISHEYE LENS... which in essence is simply a magnifying glass which you place directly in front of the camera and it acts as a lens which adds barrel-roll distortion (fisheye effect) to your scene. I'll find the link: http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=36755 Quote
dblhelix Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=36755 didn't that hit the spot. thank you not only for the materials, but for contributing an all-new scene to my script through this tech. just what i needed and didn't even know. Quote
