Water Caustics

Re: Water Caustics

caustic by sun tests (no omni light):








what I'd like to achive is that the caustic get projected at the bottom and the walls of the pool

Re: Water Caustics

amazing water

is this possible in Rhino ???

;D

Re: Water Caustics

yes it's possible.
If u want I can send u the visopt and the vismat so you can see how it works

Re: Water Caustics

getting caustics (by sun) at the pics I posted where easy.... but I a have problem with another scene. The pool is bigger and deeper. I use the same visopt and water material. Now I cranked up the caustics multiplier a bit. What other things will affect water caustics?

I read something about Photon emit disctance, search distance. But don't know how to set it?

Anyone got a clue?

here's my best try so far:



this is what I would like to get:



p.s. I could also upload the scene if someone wants to take a look

Re: Water Caustics

Photon emit distance - determines the distance of the area, in where photons would be shot. This area is represented by the green cyllinder around the Sun's ray vector. This parameter has effect when photons are used in the GI solutions or caustics.

this is what I found.... how do I know how large this area is?

Re: Water Caustics



getting close.

Any suggestions to make it better?
It's too blurry, I want to get more sharp caustics.

Maybe make the water more clear? or use another bumpmap for the water?

Re: Water Caustics

a very nice job. hehe a little close to what sir dalomar posted
keep up the good work!

Re: Water Caustics

Finally I'm registered (it was a hard task listen the letters)... oh well, could anyone post that sketchup model (at page 2) again? I've emailed dalomar asking that model, but he didn't answered me yet maybe he's busy.

Thanks!

(sorry for the bad english)

Re: Water Caustics

Thank you remon_v ;D
How can I control the transparency of the water?

Re: Water Caustics

I think the IOR number (index of refraction).

He doesn't have the model. I think he mentioned it in this thread

GI (skylight) used only..

Re: Water Caustics

Very nice Howerd,
What settings did you used to produce it?
