lazer color differentiation lenses

[Versieon]

I would like to see the color of a lazer beam be affected by the color of the lense that it is going through, so that you could, for instance, reflect all the colors except for red, which would pass through the lense.

Hope im making sense

EDIT:

Since this seems to be something people want, here's a suggestion of how it might work, but the end product is up to the algodoo team.



1. if you have a semi reflective material, the color of it depicts what color should be reflected, and which absorbed. ex. red block only reflects the red lazer.

2. similarly, a red semi transparent red material would only let red light through it, not any other colors

3. a way to filter light so that it changes the color of the lazer would just be a toggle button, red semitransparet changes lazer light to red with filter toggeled.

there for, if you had a white block, it could reflect all light or let all light through, if you had a black block, it would absorb all light.

Although it would limit the colors used in your scenes, all the other color variables like tint and hue and saturation could controle the way light interacts with your object.

so when a laser goes through a lense, it changes color?

[Fujitsu]

I believe that he's talking about filters, which I strongly agree to.

[Chronos]

i agree too

ZCW, if you shine a white flashlight through blue cellophane, the light turns to blue. it should be like that in algodoo as well

[Paradigm 29]

i agree too

ZCW, if you shine a white flashlight through blue cellophane, the light turns to blue. it should be like that in algodoo as well

Shine a red laser through blue cellophane and a red dot comes out combot.

[electronicboy]

so i was messing around for 5 minutes trying to get something like that.
with education involved i would have expected that to be added.

[Versieon]

Yes filters are what I was thinking of!!

[Paradigm 29]

[...]with education involved i would have expected that to be added.

You need to realize that these are lasers, not natural light. The properties of the two can be quite different..

[Chronos]

then algophun should have natural light!

[Versieon]

Paradigm 29

True, but if the white laser can be broken into diferent colors, a filter should work by seperating or blocking certain colors from that white light.

Also, this would probobly be incredably useful for the computer collab, as it would create thymles logic gates(i think) with more capability out of one beam.

[Rhett97]

Wanst it supposed to have optics??

[Versieon]

i don't know what you mean.

[Chronos]

Wanst it supposed to have optics??

lasers ARE optics

[Conundrumer]

then algophun should have natural light!

White laser? It's equivalent to a concentrated flashlight

Also, this would probobly be incredably useful for the computer collab, as it would create thymles logic gates(i think) with more capability out of one beam.

No idea how that would work.

[Versieon]

for example, if the light is red, do this, if it is blue do that, and it would all be run off of one white laser, but with filters seperatng the diferent colors.

[Rhett97]

oh i though.. that when they said optics it would be something else.... well i dont know what else it would mean liek materials MADE for teh Lazors...


IMA FIRIN MAH LAZAR!!

I don't think you can have a white laser. I believe that is a fallacy in Phun (Screw the new name). But white lasers should also reflect the color of the object too. I agree with this suggestion.

[Conundrumer]

I don't think you can have a white laser. I believe that is a fallacy in Phun (Screw the new name).

"Typically, lasers are thought of as emitting light with a narrow wavelength spectrum ("monochromatic" light). This is not true of all lasers, however: some emit light with a broad spectrum, while others emit light at multiple distinct wavelengths simultaneously." -wikipedia
a broad enough spectrum = white light
As I said, pretend it's a concentrated flashlight

[xplane80]

So to stop this long argument.

WE NEED FILTERS!!!!!!

[Conundrumer]

How would you define a filter in Algodoo? When a laser strikes a polygon, all colors are absorbed except the color of the polygon? So if a laser passes through a black polygon, all light is absorbed, even if the polygon is transparent? I just want to see clarification.

[Versieon]

I added to the first post to answer that, if you guys think it should go another way, say so.

[Paradigm 29]

What if I want to shine white light and see all of the colors come out? which color do I set the polygon to? The reason that I don't think this is a good idea is because it's not realistic, sorry. This isn't the way the physical world works and therefore it's just an unnecessary gameplay add on that would distort algodoo's accuracy. You'll find that you can get plenty of the things that you want by just scripting it.

Just because I want to make a scene with a pogo-stick in it, doesn't mean I should suggest there be a pogo-stick button.

[Versieon]

thats not exactly what this is, if you would want all the colors to come out, the object would be white, as i said in the first post, and this is realistic, there are filters to filter out infa red light and uv and the only reason you see colors from an object in real life is because the object is absorbing all the rest of the visible colors, and only reflecting the color that you see.

I'm testing on a way to filtrate light.. its not the easiest way but.. I can change between 3 colors

Though its not exactly an filter...

Looks like refraction to me
