Title: Caustics appear different in IR and regular render
Post by: mario3lhd on 2022-10-27, 14:21:55

I have an example of only caustics pass in IR and regular render. Left is IR - darker one is regular render. So I get completely different solutions depends on the render "type".

Difference is pretty big. I can render in IR - but please can this be fixed in the next update? Or whenever.

Thank you in advance.

Hi there, I have just checked this and am getting exactly the same results in both IR and a final render. Are there any differences if saving the beauty pass? Perhaps sharing the scene with us might help. ;)

Caustics may render slower/differently when using render regions (this will be improved)

Caustics are also resolution dependent. If you want to see how caustics will look, you need to render full image and in final resolution.

Did you fixed this in last version?! I'm testing it now and it seems ok!

Anyway - thank you. I had problems with caustics being hardly noticeable in final render and now everything works fine.

Whatever happened, thanks guys!
