aight,

i am dissecting the sample scene and trying to explore the custom mental-ray nodes

for some reason the atmospheric effect in the sample scene (as seen on the leftmost picture) is produced by caustics - i am not able to produce an atmospheric effect without the sphere (and the photon collector)

anyone knows how to get a more general atmospheric effect as on the rightmost picture ?

and what is the photon collector for in the scene ? i have no clue

Thx for the nice tut! But before I can test it right, I need a new PC! :D

Bye Migi
