IoR


Index of refraction.  The amount light rays are bent through transparent objects such as lenses, plastics, water, etc.  Vacuum is 1.0, for no bend, and glass for example is between 1.5(ish) to 1.7(ish).

I've been meaning to do a study render like this forever.  What happens when you animate an IoR from a little over 0 to 2-ish?
