Looking for any tutorials or tips for projecting caustic light patterns on a model of the sea floor. Trying to create a very generic underwater environment.
Thanks,
Eric Keller

You will need a water surface (obviously!) then set it as a specular material.
Use the PMC kernel (make sure your caustic blur is not too high). Also using the daylight (rather than texture) environment is a must (or some other powerful small emitter so that it gets "focused" buy the water surface.)

Fooze,
BTW: Does sun size and turbidity matter for caustics?

Thanks for the reply!
Is there's no way to simply project a texture through a light source as in a Gobo?
