Now I need a drink.
Great caustics. Whats your water setup? Just a specular material?

Thank you Mbetke!
Please, get it!

Yes, only a specualr with a light blue in transmission.
I designed mesh from a plane moved with a texture deformer within C4D.
glad you liked it!
Bye!

Are u using PMC? Or are the pool caustics also working with PT?

Alla tua Beppe!

And thanks again for all of your precious suggestions!!
@RobSteady: yes, I used PMC. As I might see during tests it's better way to achieve a good result with specular mats and caustics. Of course I'm the last one that may talk, since I started to use this engine lastly, but it's really nice!
See you!

You will also get very good caustics if you use a low caustic blur value within PT.

yes, Mbetke, you're right.
Though during tests I saw that for this knid of things (caustics, glasses, ice) PMC could be better kernel.
And sincierely I thought that might be longer to compute than it really was.
This image, at 1800x1200 was computed in one hour with two 980ti.
Thanks and see you soon!
