Could someone please tell me the correct values for water and clear glass? Or how to figure them out?

both water and glass have cbc of
0.003, but I warn you: Indigo has to calculate each ray as different colour, then!
Normally, when you turn it off, Indigo will use the whole emitted spectrum, of your lightsources -> cbc is VEY slow and I never saw a 100% noisefree image WITH it, yet...


Erman had a great list of cbc's anywhere...

Ok, so I'm looking at about .004 for the glass. What about the water? Kram, I do realize it will make my renders longer, but it will also make them prettier.;)

oh...
I wrote 0.3 xD
I meant 0.003 ;)
both water and glass ~ 0.003, but you have more exact glass datas, now :D

as already said, erman had a great list...
dunno, where it is...
I'll search it, now

Hmmm.... The list was IoR only :?
But I found a way, how to calculate cbc by using Complex IoR.... not sure, though:

the list of IoRs was http://www.robinwood.com/Catalog/Techni ... xList.html and is interesting, too ;)

Ok, thanks.:) I think 0.003-0.004 should be accurate enough for now. Thanks for that thread.
