caustics problems (vray 1.45 beta)

[nlo]

once more i need some advice from this great forum

first let me say i'm new to caustics and i played around with a caustic water material from this forum...

everything works fine until i want to do the following:

*) cast a shadow from a direct light outside through glas
and
*) get caustics from a pool with a second direct (or whatever) light
placed inside the room (because i want to get the full caustic of the pool not only the part lit by the sun light)

see what happens:



can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong?

btw: this is wip

To kame things easier you can save the caustics map from your second images and then load it from disk. That way you can turn of caustics for the sunlight. You could also use a seperate light for your casutics.

Maybe not the solution your looking for but it works.
