Fake Caustic Effect

Does anyone have any tricks that I could create a water caustic projector lighting effect using Enscape? I tried using a PNG set to emitter but that casts a shadow on my surface.

Pretty much this effect that this projector creates.

Hello,

I’ve a look here from 23:01 / 36:25, one method is described there.

Vlad is truly a magician. I binged all of his videos this past weekend hoping to find a solution. This was the closest but I specifically need it to look like water caustics. I thought Photoshop was an option but it needs to be done over a 360 render so that complicates things a little. The pano editing capability in Photoshop is super limited, especially with layers and blending modes.

At the end of the day, I was able to accomplish it in Photoshop using the warp tool to get the general effect. It would be great to have a projector light type in the future… add it to the list of a million Enscape wishes!

This feature is very cool and intuitive, I have testing it with D5 render for a while now

If not confidential, could you be so kind as to publish here some effects you’ve got with your method ?

Just opened the 360 in Photoshop and added a fake caustic pattern over the areas I wanted to get the effect.

Waooh, very nice !
