hello,
this is a first step with octane-caustics in PMC-Mode. ( octane/C4D 1.18a) caustic blur is 0.02. rendertime on a GTX780/Titan-Rig was 1 hour 15 minutes
there is a lot more work on details (transition between waterline and rocks and so on) but until now i am quite happy with the overall-look of the caustics.
thank you in advance for comments and improvement-tips.

This looks great. I love the surface of the water. How have you dine that? Is it a texture displacement or sculpted?

hi gordon,
thank you! the watersurface ( a deformed plane) is generated with the houdini-oceantoolkit for C4D. no texture or sculpting was involved.

Try using parallelism of 1 instead of 4. It will reduce the overall speed (samples/second), but caustics in tricky scenes tend to converge faster.

hi abstrax,
thanks for the tip. i tried it but the result is a bit more noise and not better in general with with parallelism of 1 instead of 4.
