PRMan Shaders for the Creation of a Realistic Fish Tank

View all projects

By Rachel Williams

abstract

In this project I aim to write four PRMan shaders for the use in the creation of a realistic looking fish tank. The four shaders will be:

Glass – for the tank
Water – for the volume of water in the tank
Water surface – to create the illusion of ripples being created by the filter
Bubbles – produced by the filter
In the production of these shaders I will research into how accurate reflections and refractions are calculated for use in a cg environment. I will also look at other methods of creating the materials for a realistic fish tank and whether or not they produce better effects.
