It looks like there is a possibility to make algorithm for sunlight caustic.
We will work on it.

Very nice. But if I may go slightly off-topic - probably the most asked feature regarding the sunlight system is to be able to use it together with a HDRI. Or, if not for illumination, at least being able to use the HDRI for reflections, because sunlight produces completely uniform & dull reflections... Just something to keep in mind if you are doing research with sunlight.

Nice to see Karba!

architectural glass?

I want it.

thanks

Karba, that sounds perfect.
Best news since the DL improvements made by abstrax.
This feature and a shadow catching material along object motion blur and Octane is ready for any production.

super promising
it's PT or PMC?

I think that was path tracing. This was a little trial of Andrey. It's not architectural glass, but although he is cheating a bit it looked quite good. We'll see if his approach is robust enough for you guys (I surely hope it is)

Cheers,

if there comes at least a ray of sunlight throught specular material it will be a big step. good job andrey

What is the progress on this topic?
Is this a feature that is to be expected in the upcoming releases?

Thanks for the update

Isn't it the caustics blur parameter ?
