Morning!I'm currently testing a few shader ideas out using the TraceGeometry command in the VolumeData struct, but am having some weird results. When I transform the current ray for objects near the camera they seem skewed like the scene is being viewed thru a fish-eye lens! Is this a perspective effect, and has anyone experienced this at all?

Oh, ok. Might be something to do with the way I'm transforming the ray I guess?

Without some more information we'd all be guessing
maybe you could post a code snip or at least what transform you are doing to the ray. -

Hi David
I maybe be doing something really stupid when transforming the ray, perhaps my 3d maths need polishing up a bit! I'll probably need to go into some depth to explain what is going wrong, and you contactable? Or could you mail me please?

You would be better off posting here, this way someone with the right experience might know an answer plus it helps everyone else if they come across a similar problem.

Ok fair enough. Basically to summarise in a reasonable amount of code ...
The code below gets the current ray, transforms it to another objects inverted global matrix (got using ->GetMg), then checks whether the new ray intersects or not (so if hit, col=white, else col=black) - see below :
[CODE}
Ray *ray, invray;ray = vd->ray;
Vector pos = SV(ray->p);
Vector dir = SV(ray->v);
Vector newpos = globalMat * pos;
Vector newdir = globalMat * dir;
invray.p = LV(newpos);
invray.v = LV(newdir);vd->TraceGeometry(&invray;, MAXREAL, 0, &p;, &n;, &hit;);
if(hit)
vd->col = Vector(1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
else
vd->col = Vector(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);...
{/CODE]Does this help explain whats going wrong at all?
Cheers ...

Hi
direction vectors are usually transformed by
newdir = dir^globalMat;
This omits the translation. -

Cheers Michael, will give that a go ...

Wow! That worked like a treat. Still a little bit of weirdness going on in the distance, but probably my maths!!
Excellent Michael, thanks!
