Under water caustics

Under water caustics

Hi all,

I realize this topic has been discussed a few times over the years, and I have looked through some of the threads, but so far I have not been able to find the answers.

I am trying to improve the quality of caustics generated in the attached file. Specifically, the two areas that bug me are the bottom of the pool (looks funny, and the absence of specular highlights on the waves. I am trying to generate an image that looks more like Frank's image, also attached.

Thanks in advance.

Hi.
I just lower the angle of the photon canon light source and used the crumble-modifier for the water plane as I don´t know what kind of image you used for the displacement. All other parameters left untouched.
See if this helps already.

Cheers
Frank

Thank you Frank. Works great. It's often the little things that trip you up.

Thanks.
