Nice result.

Some tips:
- The fluid mesh should be scaled a bit bigger, it should reach into the glass mesh
- The glass volume should get a higher priority than the fluid voiume, so it overrides the fluids in areas with overlap, and LuxCore can calculate the correct IOR for the fluid-glass transition
- I would not use the Env. light cache in this scene. It is intended for scenes where the environment is only visible through small openings.

This simple sentence would be a good tooltip for the Env. Light Cache Button.
Because "How else should the user know?"

Agreed, I extended the tooltip.

Thank you, very useful information about water mesh and priority.
