caustics visible on object hidden to camera
Posted: Mon Aug 06, 2012 12:45 pm
hello to everybody,
this is just a simple scene:
two cylinders on a groundplane;
first cylinder has an opaque green material and the second has a sss-wizard-presetmaterial (acrylic signal) applied;
the groundplane has a simple lightgrey opaque material applied, but has also the shadow checked and is set to hidden to camera;
when i start rendering, caustics will become visible on this groundplane, which is hidden to camera!?!



is it a bug?
best regards
munch
