are .ies lights supported with caustics?

[image] clemens_at: are .ies lights supported with caustics? AFAIK any sort of Corona Light should be supported with caustics, whatever parameters you give it (e.g. enabled an IES profile). Does your experience suggest otherwise? If so, we’d love to hear about it!

I’m testing caustics on a quite large scene with a lot of glass and reflective materials. In this scene there are 3 houses and a lot of scattered vegetation. The first test was not good. I turned off the grass scatter to try to improve the speed. [caustics_full_scene.jpg] Second test with a simp…

Would definitely agree that having this available as a simple check-box in materials would be fantastic. That way you can limit the effect only to what you need, such as pool water, and keep computation simplified. For us I can see this very much being a love-it/hate-it thing for certain clients. T…

I agree with that but there must be overrides to turn caustics for everything then. Just try to not flip the issue on the other side of the coin. Caustics for everything (two separate options for both reflective and refractive ones) or only selected ones (in material properties)
