A question? Is caustics a setting in LW? I'm curious, everyone uses it to represent lighting effects, when the word itself means fire... sorry if that seems nit-picky, but I must know! Great work, by the way...

Caustics: a "global illumination" setting in LW, it is possible to exclude specific objects and lights if required. Can also be generated by reflection from curved surfaces, haven't tried this though :( Caustics are also defined as a reflective or refractive lighting effect, according to my dictionary anyway :) Anyway, thanks for your interest, darkelf :)
