Need a Good Caustics Tutorial

[Mark Walczak]

Hey everyone,

I am trying to track down a good tutorial regarding caustics in R11.5. The closest thing I can find pertains to version 7 (https://www.maxoncomputer.com/tutorial_detail.asp?tutorialID=192), and may not include some features/checkboxes for the latest edition of Cinema.

Anyhoo, any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I don’t think caustics has changed much since v7 except that now GI can generate caustics from indirect light.

Thanks, Adam. I just completed the tutorial, but didn’t know if I should be aware of any “gotchas” with caustics. Could you offer any knowledge in this area?

Thank you so much!

I haven’t watched it, but this one looks pretty decent..
