PhotonGI caustic cache re-factoring
Re: PhotonGI caustic cache re-factoring
But currently you can have good looking juice without caustic cache or light tracing and even with rough glass. it is working in any light condition or engine mod (Bidir and Path )
Re: PhotonGI caustic cache re-factoring
those look good actually
Re: PhotonGI caustic cache re-factoring
Classic BiDir might work, i tested the BiDirVM and caustic cache, they were very slow on huge scene with 40m pool and 0.1m juice glass.
But seems like i have working settings now:

Re: PhotonGI caustic cache re-factoring
Can you share this scene? Looks really good.
Re: PhotonGI caustic cache re-factoring
Thank you for your good work, it really comes handyanotherbobby wrote: ↑Sun Dec 08, 2019 1:51 pm
Hi,
Tried to convert this scene into Blender 2.82 Alpha, LuxCore 2.3 Alpha0
Re: PhotonGI caustic cache re-factoring
Could someone re-upload the pool tester blend file? It would be really useful in trying to recreate the wall caustics I'm looking for, but the original attachment seems to have been deleted. Thanks!

Re: PhotonGI caustic cache re-factoring
Thanks Dade, I did actually end up using that one.
