Creating optimized caustics in Maya Mray Caustics is effect that is calculated by emmiting photons from light emitter which are refracted or reflected through one surface to another surface giving us a caustics effect. Here are some examples of caustics effect: In this tutorial we’ll stick with refracted caustics for now. Like in real world to make caustics in our scene we need photons emited from light source. This can be really time consuming so it’s best to keep things... read more
