Caustics corona 8, black squares

It's something we have had to add to a "dummy list" to remember to do in every scene involving caustics, along with amending the initial lookup radius and other bits.

What exactly do you change and do you have numbers that always work better than the defaults? I've changed the max photons/iteration on some files and sometimes it helped, sometimes it made it all worse. Changing initial lookup radius always resulted in a too different look in general and my conclusion is that caustics are incredibly finicky and way to unpredictable to use in production, along with quite a performance penalty I'm not willing to pay.

Forgot to say that I tried everything we mentioned here, but the only result I got was that there were not so many black spots as before. Ended up fixing that in PS

Hi, disabling caustics adaptivity in the devel/experimental rollout should fix any "dark/black squares" visible in caustics.
If it didn't, or if you are having some further problems, please contact us here and attach your scene if possible: https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
Even if we will not be able to help you (sure it does sometimes happen!), we will have a scene where we can reproduce the issue and this is extremely valuable for Corona development. We can pass it to our devs and they can do their magic.
The scene could be either your original scene (if you can share it), or a simplified version of it (if you can create it), or our own, but the most important part is to reproduce the issue.

Hi,
We've done some work on causics in the v10 daily builds.. You can grab it here and try it out :)
