Hi,

First) i still couldnt get the video. It only appear this: "Please enter the Download-ID you've got in the e-mail and click 'Start Download'" but i havent received any ID in my email. Isnt other way to share it?

Second) i have tested your sceane, and as the image shows: any caustic. The only thing of configuration that could be "wrong" is the caustic Map, wich seems to be in your computer as the second image shows. Other thing that could had happened is the light of the sceane: it came with only a light (i dont know if is a directional light or the sun light...sorry).
I made other test with my own model and, again, nothing happened.... ???....as showed in third image.

Third) i suppose this last issue isnt about caustics but i will put here because it has to do with your sceane. How can i start a render, even with the render window open, and do other things in Rhino like to entry in File Menu? (in your sceane i could do that)
