Short: 'Feedback 2' animation by UnreaL Author: unreal@fly.cc.fer.hr (Goran Krajnovic) Uploader: unreal fly cc fer hr (Goran Krajnovic) Type: pix/unrl Architecture: generic Copyright notice: this animation is (c) copyright by Goran Krajnovic.

Rendered in Real 3D 1.4 (yes, the old one) on an Amiga 1200. 200x150, HAM8, Anim5 format. 400+2 frames. MainView plays this one faster than Viewtek. Playing from Fast RAM is possible with 4 MB fast. Two mirrors against each other... a great subject to draw ideas from, to improve on and to experiment with. One of the simplest feedback systems, but amazing nonetheless. Make a fancy shiny sphere go through the mirrors and there you go! - instant cool animations. :) On a more serious note, this scene is great for experimenting with mirror materials and recursion depths. In this particular animation, a recursion depth of 20 was used - that means that the rays of light were traced in their reflections and refractions 20 times. As a comparison, most of my images are rendered with a recursion depth of 3.
