Informacões Técnicas

This image was generated using the Environment Map Inversion technique, and it represents a cristal duck on top of a magazine cover. The overall approximation consists in approximating the refractions through a generic object with the refractions through a generic lens. The mentioned technique takes advantage of the fact that, for thin lenses with the Gaussian approximation and using Blinn & Newell's Environment Mapping technique, the expresions for refracting through it colapses to the ones for reflection, with an environment map inversion prepprocess step.
