How do I create the texture of a compact disc?  I have been fooling
around with iridescence, but the effect never comes close to what I
want.

I hear this question asked about once every 2 months or so.
I really don't have an answer for you. If somebody out there
really does have a good method for this let me know and I'll
ask Warp to add it to the VFAQ list.

I don't have an answer, but I thought I should note that there is a texture
for MAX that does this, and very realistically!!!  I suppose it's based of
incidence angle.  It is a special texture not just a map.  I think it uses
some kind of special dispersion routine.

just 2c.
