Can Vray Light material generate caustic?

I mean like a standard VRay light?

only qmc/ppt caustics since vrayMtl will emit light only if gi is on.

Thanks.
So I do not need to enable caustics in the rendering parameters?

no, only in gi settings. Standart caustics are for light sources only because they emmit photons, vrayLightMtl does not.
