Those reflective caustics are to weak, they're barely visible. I think they should be more pronounced than that considering how rough the watermesh is and how intense the lightsource is.

That's fresnel effect, I think. Set the emitter on the side wall near the water and you'll see much more reflected and less refracted.

I agree. In a cornell box there will be a lot of reflected light - from all surfaces, but not so much from the water surface as long as the lightsource is directly above the water.

new test:


SL=19.7

Great!!

rrah
do not want clear water




SL..I don't remember..not much

hi piem, great creature!

the blurred water - is it made in Photoshop?

[piem]

yep

Cheater!

Cheater!

No no, it's some kind of lizard

just a small test to show that real water (dielectric) can show nice caustics trough the water surface if you render to SL25:

Thanks for doing that KurtS.

I would, sooner or later, do a little animation...

Oooo those caustics are nice!
