Thanks a lot Stugys, that’s good information to know. I was actually looking for this kind of effect. I will try your method see if it works and post back. I’m trying to follow MAX tutorials but cab’t seem to find the same settings in Vray for Blender. Once again thanks a lot mate.

@Stugys good suggestions about the caustics settings, thanks! I’ve set up caustics before but had trouble with the right values. Here’s a simple test, hope this file helps you Wig42. Not sure if it’s obvious, but you have to enable caustics in the render settings.
