Hi,
My object is a surface of revolution made of 'mesh2'. I also think that the
problem is in the refraction distortion, but I don't know what is the
correct ior for my object. The value 1.55 is the real value for glass, but
the result in my image is bad. Other values for ior has worse results. I
tried with the parameter 'double_illuminate', but the result is the same.

I also tried with T_Glass2, but no improvements get.

Thanks,

JSR.
