Description Today's game was "caustics" (I always thought that was something you used to clean drains...But then again I'm an idiot).

If you stare hard enough I'm sure you'll find something buried in all this mess

Beautiful use of reflections and lighting.

Impressive clear crystal reflections, you did really great with the crystal ball, what an awesome idea. Very well done. It looks like your skill are better each time.

Fantastic skills at modeling, too: the details are amazing

Would you believe I limited the reflections to just 3! This morning I re-rendered it with 25 reflection bounces and there was hardly any difference so 3 is what I'll use...As I just told NICELabs it only took 26 minutes to render (not bad for a ZX Spectrum).

I'm convinced that 3 was enough, and that beyond this  it becomes difficult to see anything. The result is awesome

Such a wealth of detail in all this exquisitely presented.  You're the paragon at scenes like this  The correct answer I suspect is all of the above


And for my customary interjection of humor I'm reminded of an old bit by Steven Wright.    "I spent the night playing Poker with Tarot cards...  I got a Full House and four people died."

Smoke and mirrors, as we well know! I just had to press that caustics button, I've always been too afraid because it eats RAM and then asks for seconds but surprisingly the render only took 26 minutes.... It's actually what's illuminating her face.

Steven Wright - He da man! Although somehow I ended up listening to Mitch Hedberg (a great loss).

fantastic .  I know enough to understand what you're going, but in terms of my own skill I'm a danger to myself and others.

If I ever got my future read I would hope it be done by her

Not only is she good with balls, she's a also phrenologist ... She can rub any lump or bumps you may have developed and tell you what's coming!

i failed to mention the high quality of detail herein. this piece is complex and wonderfully composed and articulated.

if i new how and/or could i would nominate this for a DD.

your talent never ceases to amaze and tantalize me.

this is truly an engaging work. i too thought caustic was an acid substance, or attitude. my mind has been stumbling over why the tarot cards and the textured paper on the desk when reflected are on opposite sides to the physical location they are in. also where did the breast come from?? this is totally awesome and when the the prize is unearthed i will feel most idiotic i am sure.

i fear my stare only begets a headache. 

seems of all the pieces i have seen stoned last few days, this is one i should have experienced high.

'Tis the magical wonder of refraction..... The hand mirror on the table is being reflected in the ball whereas the tarot cards are being refracted (I was just as confused until Dog explained it to me).

As for the bare breasts radaVid, there are 3 possible answers: 
1. Divination should always be performed naked as clothing can interfere with the frequencies.
2. Deviants tend to like nipples in the pictures
3. I just couldn't be bothered to dress her because I was concentrating on the caustics

Obviously the answer is Nº1      

(According to wikipedia: In optics, a caustic or caustic network is the envelope of light rays reflected or refracted by a curved surface or object, or the projection of that envelope of rays on another surface. So how does that clean drains )

i was right. i feel like an idiot. and my guess was #2.

yea i saw the hand mirror. once again

as to the other - they call a plumber.


and tell Dog for the help.
