<p>Yes-- you're getting both reflected and refracted caustics from the glass ball, for example. For physically-based materials the amount of reflection depends on the IOR of the material-- in this case water (1.33). You can also "fake" it by adding some extra reflectivity to the water.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>One very exciting thing about this algorithm is the reflection of the caustic made by the glass ball in the window-- this particular light path is very difficult to capture, even by programs…</p>

<p>Still working out how to do this stuff with daylighting, BTW....</p> Thanks Roy, nice fonction, bu…tag:accurender.ning.com,2011-04-06:6293855:Comment:226092011-04-06T09:50:28.470ZMarc Chaumierhttp://accurender.ning.com/profile/MarcChaumier
<p>Thanks Roy, nice fonction, but, for your health, you have to sleep a little bit... But from my point of view, keep on...</p>
<p>Seriously, does this tool work for the reflection (caustic?) of the water of interior pool on the ceilling or the wall? Not very good explained, but I hope you understand what I mean.</p>

Oh! nXt is getting mature day by day with all those new features to one hell of the rendering beast! Impressive! Well done, Roy!
