Hello,
How can i make a Refractive index, reflections from objects, and put textures of a object?
i have the version 0.8.0.1

The short answer is "yes", but it requires some understanding of the render engine. For refraction and reflection you probably ought to focus on LuxRender, as it makes these easier than most RenderMan engines.

I'm in the process of working on some LuxRender specific documentation (which others have asked about), I'll post a link when it's ready.

The existence of materials with a negative refractive index was first predicted by the Russian physicist Victor Veselago in 1967. He speculated that materials in which the electric permittivity and the magnetic permeability are both less than zero would refract light in the opposite direction compared to conventional materials. The electric permittivity is the ability of a material to store electrical charge and the magnetic permeability is the ability of a material to acquire magnetisation in magnetic fields.

Hi Jake,
Sorry for the late reply, I've been distracted from K-3D lately. To get something out of the LuxRender engine, you need to create a render engine, add a Lux light and assign Lux materials to the objects you want to see rendered. I have uploaded a sample file at
http://k3d-bart.googlecode.com/files/luxtest.k3d
If you quickrender (choosing LuxRenderEngine) this file with the luxrender command in your path, it should render.
Kind regards,
Bart

I think you may need to download LuxRender from http://www.luxrender.net/v/dl_windows
I tested with LuxRender 0.7 and K-3D 0.8.0.1 on windows, and the example file I uploaded rendered using LuxRender.
When installing LuxRender, be sure that it is added to the system path.
You don't need an nvidia card for either K-3D or LuxRender.

MemberYou are not explaining what you did, that makes it hard to know what your problem is. At a guess I'd say you have a single light source and therefore there is no other light to "fill in" the shadows. I assume you are still using Lux? Try a scene with a sun and sky.

MemberUnless you want to build (compile from source code) the development versions from the repository you have to wait for the next packaged release. If you have never done any software building before I would not recommend it as K-3D is a complex project and you are better off learning the basics first, but if you insist the instructions are on the wiki.
