refrection problem

Show all headers | View raw

Hi...I have a some problem with refract() function

I've used this code


[code]surface test_refraction()
{
float IOR = 1.6;

normal Nn = normalize(N);
vector In = normalize(I);

float eta = (In.Nn < 0 ? IOR/1 : IOR);

vector Refr = refract(In, Nn, eta);

color Sc = trace (P,Refr,"samples",8);

Ci= Sc;
Oi=Os;
}[/code]


and got this image below:

looks like something wrong with refraction
but if I not normalize N..I get correct result (I guess so =) )but at
compiling time getting error "normal N should be normalized"

so can you help me... where I was mistaken? what's wrong?
would be very appreciated for any help
