thanks all. Ill try and post the scene later today. The funny thing is that other then upping the caustics multiplier ALOT, I think the settings are all default. I wanted to see how the defaults looked. I think they turn out pretty good.

I noticed that at the end you cant see the caustics, and at first it bugged me. but render times weren't the greatest and it occurred to me that sometimes in life, you dont always get the best view possible, so I left it as it is.

Heres the file. I used reactor. Should just be able to hit render.

p.s. Render times weren't toooo bad for a dual 1.2gig system, but I have no idea how long it took to render out all the frames, I just set it as I went to bed one night.

jack i didnt know.......... i also have a question if you use hvs exponential the volume lights are gray ,is there a way to make them white ? coz i'll use them in the scene im working on.
