if not is probably due to a "strange" modelling..post a wireframe in the forum, maybe someone can help!

well the model is a normal wireframe similar to a cylinder with subpatch on. this is according to a tutorial from 3D world and they got beautiful caustics ... and every other tut i've seen. any general ideas or comments?

What is the softness setting for the caustics. If it is near 1 then that is what you get. Try elevating the softness setting.

I did another little render with a much higher value in Accuracy and softness set to 10 and it looked much better ... that was with limited region, doing the full render now so let's see - think it should be fine. thanx for all your comments - airtruk :oP
