some suggestions on optics

    1: change the refraction coefficient by the tmp of glass(and maybe liquid crystal and all the transparent elements). tmp could be negative and also fraction.(and that with water, salt- water, etc. too))

    uses: simulate of other transparent matters.

    2: more state of filt: tmp=3 in that state the filter will subtract the color of it from the photons those traval through it.

    uses: more option for optical communication

    1) What would thicker glass gain us?

    2) Can't understand,.

    2) I think this can already be done with the PROP tool.

    1:Not a bad idea at all. But it would be hard to implement, although not impossible.

    2: Not a bad idea either.

    Here is a basic explination, boxmein.

    1: If glass is heater or cooled, the angle of refraction changes.

    2: Subtracts a certain colour from photons.

    He said tmp, not temp

    1. Maybe
    2. Good idea !

    1(explination): maybe the changing by TEMP is to LCRY. but i mean by TMP, for glass
    (tmp is not temp according to the prop dictionary)

    EDIT oh and now i have more idea: extra light phots. example: infra-red make planets grow and soft heating , regular light not burn, and ultra violet(and higher) can burn and melts.

    i DO like the idea of some way of doing reactions say based on color

    OR perhaps some kind of element to change the TYPE of "photons"

    for instance an element that , acting like filt (changes based on temp OR tmp to avoid the phot heating it) , would change phot to things like UV,IR, and perhaps some of the others on the spectrum

    then those would interact like phot being able to be heated/cool, reflecting,etc
