This morning I was testing out the recent changes that clipka made to
irridescence and suddenly I was out in a warm spring meadow blowing soap
bubbles... Okay, obviously it's just the Japan_blossom probe reflected in some
spherical blob components with a bit of focal blur.
Nice irid improvement over 3.6 Christoph, thanks!
Cheers

looks great ... did you also render with 3.6
and/or without irid for comparison?

Awesome Rolex!
It's made via Photoshop, from an actual photo. I can see a building in
the reflection of the main bubble, as well as a person with a pole...

Thanks Christian. For comparision, here's the same scene rendered in 3.7 RC5
with the irid block commented out in the finish. After looking at this one it
seems I may have overdone the previous irid a bit; I may need to tone it down a
bit for more realism.

In a few of my commercial works that I rendered with 3.5 and 3.6 I really had to
struggle with irid textures to make them "seem to work." It was such a pain in
the ass - I kept asking myself, "What am I doing wrong?" It's nice to see that
it was just a bug after all.
Here's the exact same scene as rendered in 3.6. Notice the weird iridescence in
the spheres, that don't even seem to have the Fresnel reflections right...
Because 3.6 didn't support HDR/EXR the environment map is a JPEG in this case,
using ambient 1. No contest really, since IMHO everything looks WAAAAY better in
3.7 all around.
Cheers

Eh? Are you saying there's a Rolex in the environment map somwhere? Lucky
bastard!
The blobospheres are just reflecting the "Japanese Blossom" HDR probe that I got
from http://www.unparent.com/photos_probes.html and converted to EXR (and JPEG)
spherical mapping using Ive's IC.

A huge difference indeed! Hurray for 3.7 and the POV-Ray Team!

"Awesome Rolex" refers to a post from many years ago which was a real photo,
masquerading as CG. I'd take it as a complement. ;)

For the records, it should be noted that the "correct" spelling for such
occasions is "Awsome Rolex!"

Thanks for clearing that up Tek, I'd not seen that expression before; definitely
a new bit of slang for me!
