You should use anti-aliasing and you should stop using warez...

Looks ok, you need to smooth out your tube and sharpen up your caustics.

Also you should not go talking about using warez, or bagging out the people of the forum, you will get yourself into a whole lot of trouble.

Great tutorial. Helped me figure out a couple things I was doing wrong in previous caustics renders.

Thanks.

This TUT is really AWESOME.... THANKs to the AUTHOR....

I will allow myself to add another METHOD of reaching the
CAUSTICs EFFECT but with a STANDARD material....

#1 All You need is to Add the VRayMap on Reflections and Refractions SLOTs.... Of Course in the Refraction Settings.... have to set the FOG
Color as shown in the TUT... so U can achieve your GLASS /or whatever/ colour U need....

#2 U can also SKIP the part with the DECAY.... this usually slow down the RENDER process.... /for what I am not so SURE.... confess/, BUT
then U leave U Spot MULTIPLIER pretty normal - like 5-15....

#3 In the VRay Settings' Menu - under LIGHT - there U put a HUGE multiplier on the SPOT - like 200 000 and of course Subdiv - 2000 - 3000

#4 EXPERIMENT with the IOR and FOG Multiplier..... also GLOSSINESS...
can produce different REALLY cool things.... like DIRTY Liquid and BLURY other MATERIALS....

#5 U can also change the SHADER types... that also changes the FINAL effect....

THAT's ALL GUYS....
Cheers...
