3D ANIMATION STUDIES

Getting Thumbnail Ring Caustics/Area lights
Study of a gold ring utilizing an area light and caustic calculations in Lightwave 6.5. In creating this sample image, I've noticed that it requires quite high accuracy settings (2000+) and I get the best results with a higher softening setting - often the maximum of 100. - Chad C. Yates 2001
