I know the uberlight can do caustics, and if doing them in DS is similar
to Poser, then doing them will not be too hard. On water, though, if you
are doing a split view as in my other thread, you have TWO types of
caustics to concern yourself with. The light travelling THROUGH the water
surface, and the light REFLECTING off that same surface. Now, I believe
both types of caustics are very similar, but would I be correct in
assuming that the reflected light is not as bright? Any thoughts on this
from the Lighting masters would be appreciated. I have both the uberspot
and the uberpoint, though I think the spot is the better choice for caustics.
