Caustics

[Austin]

I've been away for the forums for a while but I return with a question! A really stupid one, too. For some reason I cannot get photon caustics to work... I spent about an hour last night with the settings and didn't have any luck.

I've made sure that my light and object is set to generate caustics, I'm using a VRayMtl (settings), I've even set all the caustics multipliers to insanely high settings (200+), but still haven't had any success. In fact as soon as I turn on caustics all of the shadows become completely opaque... My render settings are here.

I'm sure I'm missing something really small, but it's really frustrating! Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Oh and I'm running Max 8 SP1 with VRay 1.47.03

Thanks for the scene Dmitry... What I was missing was decay on my light. Thanks again for the fast response!
