Oh the nightmares of AOL! I cleaned out my desk and found five AOL CD's. I
think I was storing them in my "Really Bad Graphic Design" file, but I
gleefully tossed them.
If you need a pattern, just scan any detergent box and use that, AOL did. You
must have had max_trace set to 20 or so for this one, and it does make a nice
pattern.

42, 3 per CD (I think), = 13 reflections (plus the "end" CD)

Just out of interest :
From my (laymans) limited understanding of quantum theory, the rainbow effects on
a CD are the most easily seen manifestation of the way that individual light
particles/waves travel from source to observer via multiple routes at the same
time (I don't think that the CD example is anything to do with refraction at
different angles for different parts of the spectrum). No doubt, this would be
somewhat tricky to model in a raytracer where the general assumption is that one
ray follows one path, not multiple paths as happens in the real world !
Warning : Do not read about quantum theory if you are of a nervous disposition, or
you have a firm belief in reality.

Well the guy who invented Quantum physics did say he regretted ever invinting it! LOL

If what you just explained is known as Newtown interference patterns
(the same ones which we soo on oil spots on the road), then POV can at
least fake it using the iridescence property of the finish.

That'd make a good sig.

I don't have anything to add, just thought I'd post my sig.

"inventing" the electron - "He discovered it, he didn't invent it"

<ramble on>
On similar but completely different lines (no conflict there if we are
talking Quantum Theory), I always like to (half) remember what Einstein
said about the atomic bomb - "If I had known, I would have become a
locksmith" - I wonder if anything similar will be said about the gene(ie)
that is now out of the bottle.
Anyone know exactly what Einstein said ?
