[Max] Feature Requests / Separate 'Size' Value for Corona Sun Caustics
« on: 2023-10-18, 00:26:47 »
This might be a niche request but I'd love the ability to specify 2 different size values for the sun (or any lights) to control how caustics appear independently from shadows etc.
Example, I've got a scene where I've got the Corona Sun size set to 2.5, the shadows look great, but I hate the pool caustics. They're just too blurry. And vice versa, if I change the sun size to 0.1, the caustics look incredible but the shadows now too harsh.
I appreciate this would be the reality, but sometimes aesthetics beats physics.
So it would be great to have 2 settings in the Sun, Size (Shadows) and Size (Caustics)
