You arty types reading this who aren't in it should be. If a hack like me can do it, so can you. it's FUN!

a) you're not a hack
b) how the hell did you do that? Any post rendering tweaking or is all done with the renderer?

No post render production! I rendered it like that! MUAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!

I took an amazingly boring image of a hallway, then placed in front of the camera a cube of clear crystal with the IOR bumped up to 2. Then I added a bump normal to the texture. That caused a combination of convex and concave lenses, an a number of weird combined lenses all blending together.

Quite simple, really, but my poor pII-333 took 14 hours to render through the refractions. poor bloody PC.

This image is now my desktop wallpaper. It's cool.

Stay away from the brown blotter tabs! The *brown* blotter tabs are *bad!*

Cool!

So, why does that remind me of the Fatboy Slim Remix of "Magic Carpet Ride"??
