The water doesn't actually touch the inside of the glass. The inner radius of the glass in 0.95 whatevers, and the water is 0.94999999.

Any other ideas on how I could make the glass, other than using CSG to subtract the inner cylinder from the outer?

that's not the pb. having two reflection/refraction materials overlaping ( even if they're not "touching" themselves as you point out -which means nothing for 3d anyway- ) usually leads to pbs. plus it makes render times awfully longer.

Well then how do I fix it?

For a start, make it half-empty.

Petrarch of the VBB · **Reply #25 on:** April 11, 2003, 02:01:00 pm

Or half full?

an0n · **Reply #26 on:** April 11, 2003, 02:03:11 pm

Trust me, it's half-empty.

no, the cup is twice the size it's supposed to be.

Petrarch of the VBB · **Reply #28 on:** April 12, 2003, 01:39:32 pm

Agreed.

But does no-one know how to fix it? One of you must have the arcane skills of POVRAY!

Odyssey · **Reply #29 on:** April 13, 2003, 07:51:33 am

I have no idea how you would fix this.
But on an interesting and marginally related note:

1/2empty=1/2full
---------| x2
---empty=full

Interesting logic there, Odyssey.

Odyssey · **Reply #32 on:** April 13, 2003, 02:33:32 pm

Why thankyou. If we ignore the fact that one involves counting up from 0 and the other involves counting down from 1, it even makes sense

Petrarch of the VBB · **Reply #33 on:** April 13, 2003, 02:41:21 pm

Well then it can't be good.

sense? We'll have none of that!

Odyssey · **Reply #34 on:** April 13, 2003, 02:44:13 pm

But without sense we would not be able to see the nature of water in 3D programs... And that would be a pity

Sense has no place in my world! it has been replaced by sence!

ARGH!

Odyssey is correct...it's spelled seance.

This is, like, dictionary word association, isn't it? Wow...
Friend of mine did that on an electronic thesaurus once. Managed to get from Agnostic to Fruit in 10 seconds flat...
