Hi all,

Just wondering is it possable to make an object interact with a scene, but
invisable to the camera, imagine..

a reflective checker plane (tis hard i know) a reflective blue sphere next
to a reflective green one.

the feflections of the green sphere are on the floor and the other sphere
etc, yet the green sphere is just not there.

and how...

Rick

I believe the precise term is "anti-vampire".  I was told a year or so ago
that it cannot be done........

  Not quite true. See the article I mentioned previously in this thread.

Maybe Warp got married and changed the last name to that of the spouse ?

  The name is right. It's a long story.

  Actually Nieminen is my surname and Mika/Juha my first name.
  I have written an explanation about this. I can translate it to english
and send it to some of you by mail if you want. I would appreciate some
discretion.

    Well, it may be difficult now. The way you put it, everyone wants
to know the secret ! :))

  Okay. Do you prefer to go by Warp or Juha in these groups? After this day
I will not make reference to this off-topic issue in these newsgroups.
