3D Glass Molecular Model

Original - A render of a 3D model of a glass molecular model of cyclohexane, methane, ethane, and heptane. This picture demonstrates such effects as refraction and reflection using ray-tracing; caustics using photon mapping, and depth-of-field. The ray-tracing depth was set to 9, and caustics are enabled. The index of refraction of the glass material is set to 1.55. The virtual lens has a focal length of 120 mm, is stopped down to f11, and is positioned 23.6 cm from the subject.

Alt 1 With different depth-of-field settings, and more room on either side.

Alt 2 With depth-of-field disabled. Image is also found on Ray-tracing (graphics).

Looks pretty, and has some EV too.

• My thoughts for depth of field is that a photograph does a better job for Depth-of-field (because the subject would be less abstract for the reader). I'm not so sure that EV is particularly strong for V-Ray too. You can always give it a go though. Noodle snacks (talk) 09:05, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
  • A photograph probably does a better job for depth of field but the caption for this image in that article reads, "Digital techniques, such as ray-tracing can also render 3D models with shallow depth-of-field..." so I think that it does have some EV in that respect, in informing the reader that depth-of-field can be simulated as well. However, it seems that previous nominations for similar pictures have been shot down pretty badly, so I'm not sure if I should nominate this. Purpy Pupple (talk) 18:34, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
    • That is a fair point (and one I'd mention during the nomination). There is only one way to truly determine if it will pass or not (give it a go). Noodle snacks (talk) 04:22, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
