Thanks. Cool.

Perhaps we should have various versions of the Simball ?

Industrial design materials, displacement, character/figure, etc..

?

Seems like common sense.

Agree - It seems we might have to go down that particular path - we already have a preset scene for cloth like materials and Thomas's simball so why not add to it? It will allow better flexibility! I hope hyltom's simball version gets the approval

I also want to know why this is a failed attempt...It looks really good to me.

Few comments:
- The area that you call "main body with direct reflection" is little bit small compared with the flat area.

- Instead of having a the ball dig by another sphere that create a smooth boolean, i will prefer personally to have some step showing different thickness like 1, 2, 3, 4mm....

- I'm still missing something to grab the reflectance 90 on this one.

Other than that i really like all the features you have added....specially the subsurface ruler, the large ray trap (easy to understand), and the pool.

That's a good idea! At the moment, all material testing objects only work on a small scale. Sadly, none of them works with large scale textures in realscale (eg. textures of 2m x 3m) which are often needed in archviz.
So a "sim ball" for archiviz could be great as well.

Oh! yes! I also have that problem.

I just noticed this, the Space Invaders alarmclock. It has some weird likeness to Thomas creation.
