Hello!

Just playing with the new toy a bit :)

Rendered on i5 3330 w/ 16GB RAM, no post production, but played a bit with the exposure and color mapping.

Very very intersting!!!!
I'm trying to make caustics in a scene of my mine (a pool, daylight) and i will try to apply these settings, unless you've done something different fot that kind of caustics!!!!
Thank's for sharing!!!!

Should work for a pool. This was refractive caustics only, and it does take awhile to clear...I was obviously not very patient with it :)

I did adjust some things from default that seemed like they would contribute to a cleaner look, but really it was a shot in the dark (pun unintentional). I would love to hear if any of my tweaked settings are obscure or unnecessary.
