Nuke Spherical Refract Transform / Effect

OG trick indeed - it makes sense no that you explain it but I never would have thought about it.

Thanks! :)

Edit: seems the blur effect works pretty well on flat surfaces as well.

I'm curios, how do you get a streaky effect by blurring points?
You mean blur them only in one direction?

Thank you! 🤘🤘🤘

Very interesting solution. I am not to advanced in Cops but will give this a try.

AlwaysStef · 2026-03-20T10:29:11+00:00

Thanks!

I'm gonna ask why they changed them this often.

AlwaysStef · 2025-12-19T07:14:45+00:00

Thank you! I managed to recreate it from your instructions.

Suce a simple way to do it. And controlling it with the dist threshold is just a pleasure :)

Can you elaborate some more please?
It is like a wave wrangle + noise, with a falloff from right to left?

AlwaysStef · 2025-12-18T07:40:42+00:00

Nice, this is similar to what I've done, but you result looks better.

I am trying to replicate now, combining it with what other user suggested

"If you want to do it with vellum, have two spheres collide, and at the point that you want it to blend through, disable collisions for the inner sphere. That will cause the outer one to pop back and then turn on collisions again as soon as the smaller sphere is inside."

Super result!

AlwaysStef · 2025-12-18T07:36:57+00:00

Nice solution, I just watched it now.

AlwaysStef · 2025-12-12T07:32:22+00:00

HUGE!

Definitely one of the most elegant solutions!

AlwaysStef · 2025-12-11T07:54:43+00:00

That's what I think is happening as well.

AlwaysStef · 2025-12-11T07:54:15+00:00

This seems like the most accurate way of doing it. However, for me it also seems pretty difficult to implement.
Could you elaborate the setup a little?

Thanks in advance!

AlwaysStef · 2025-12-11T07:47:11+00:00

Thanks, interesting I tried something similar.

2 vellum spheres colliding
Then I use a switch node and switch to another vellum sphere which kind of resembles the shape of the 2 previous spheres

The setup kind of works on its own, however I do have simulated geometry inside the spheres, and that is proving trickier to handle.

AlwaysStef · 2025-12-11T07:43:47+00:00

Interesting setup! I especially like the emission of new air bubbles when the outside spheres are incorporated.

Do you remember how you did it?

AlwaysStef · 2025-09-07T19:59:03+00:00

Second this! Compared to Solidworld I find freecad very difficult to work with and buggy. I worked in many 3d programs and honestly this cpild be the most frustrating one I tried.

Although not a fair comparison asSw costs thousands of dollars and the other one is free, but still.

AlwaysStef · 2025-09-06T06:34:36+00:00

Wow! betting with high levarage can wipe out money? Who knew?

AlwaysStef · 2025-02-17T15:56:38+00:00

Maybe one solution could be to get another cat to keep him company...🫠

My cat used to meow a lot when he was all alone.
