Refraction Sculpture - DEMO

3D Model

Refraction itself is a physical phenomena that describes the process of light changing its direction when traveling through a surface. Hence our vision of the objects behind the surface are distorted. In CG the term IOR describes this attribute and displays how strong the distortion is. During this series of experiments I combined that with chromatic dispersion where one colored light separates into its components of different wavelengths - colors. This effect is used a lot in modern days media as glitches and RGB separation have become a trend.
