<p>Thank you for the quick respons,</p>
<p>I just downloaded your updated cluster, and will see how far I get.</p>

<p>If I get stuck I will pm,</p>
<p>Thanks in advance,</p>

<p>Not sure If I fully understand what you want to do correctly, but this should certainly work. Pls post a file if you need help with a specific thing.</p>
<p>I also just updated the cluster in Milkbox, so you can go into it and change anything as desired.</p>
<p>Best, p</p>

<p>Very impressive,</p>
<p>A follow up question:</p>
<p>I'm designing a periscope for a public installation, and I figure there must be a practicle way to use grasshopper for the composition of lenses, their corrosponding diopter, (maybe depth of field etc.). I need to define an enlargement factor (of 1.5 to 2.5) at a certain distance from the end of the scope, make sure the image shines parallel throug the piping, and ends up as a sharp image...</p>

<p>It´s only a cluster of native components.</p>
<p>Technically it should also work if you just copy and paste the main component a couple of times instead of using a loop with anemone.</p>
<p>You will need one copy for each time a ray enters or exits a medium.</p>

<p>Wow, the amount of work really amazes me. OmniRay Looks great in detail.</p>
<p>did I get it right, you embedded anemone in your app?</p>
<p>Managed to open the OmniRay app definition in new Rhino WIP for mac</p>
<p>(still yet no anemone for mac).</p>
<p>keen on getting floated now!</p>
<p>Thank you, Phillip!</p>

<p>Yes, I did. You can download a set of components that work together with Anemone.</p>
<p>They will handle Reflection, Refraction and Dispersion at once.</p>
<p>You will need to be a member of Milkbox.</p>

<p>About a year ago, I was working on a definition to calculate lens shapes for monochromatic refraction. I simplified it a little by programming for symmetric lenses only. But I got to a point where I needed to implement some optimization algorithm and I haven't had a chance to research which algorithm to use and how.

<p>About a year ago, I was working on a definition to calculate lens shapes for monochromatic refraction. I simplified it a little by programming for symmetric lenses only. But I got to a point where I needed to implement some optimization algorithm and I haven't had a chance to research which algorithm to use and how. I had experimented with using kangaroo to fulfill that need and it worked; but it was too computationally intensive to reasonably accomplish what I was working on. Kangaroo has introduced some new tools since then that might make it much easier. Still, I know that I could solve it much more efficiently mathematically.</p>

<p>I'm curious about what you are working on. Feel free to PM me if you want to converse about our respective projects.</p>
