Some cool caustic patterns. The flashlight's emitter is in the shape of a filament inside a glass bulb. No ies! Excuse the old model. Some may have seen it before...

That looks awesome Brian

[oscarMaxwell]

Nice caustics Brian!

[Hervé]

ahhh the caustics... killaaaaa..

[Mattia Sullini]

Wow!!!

[knurrebusk]

Yes! I want some of that for my pond/water plants
Great detail, not like my test´s

Just passed 70 ies lights in my test scene, and the rendertime went down, perhaps I should add 20 underwater spots to speed things up even more he he.

The caustics and the picture look great, but honestly - I've never seen such sharply distinguished lighting patterns with a flash light. Most of the times the falloff I remember where much smoother from bright to darker areas...

Great picture even as it is!

I think it depends on the target object's surface characteristics and the distance from the flashlight.

This is 70+ ies lights, and very dull materials to ekspose areas of improvement, and the second floor is strange?
I left it without any lights, but there should be some indirect light visible trough the reflections or?

[knurrebusk]

This is my old pond in the far corner of the new model.
Understand details is not easy, but there is no caustics!

[knurrebusk]

Exterior fixed 2 floor.

Don´t worry, I´ll make it a mix more close to this Mental ver that got me started.
I´m mental myself is the comment from friends, but they enjoy my mentaleties.

[knurrebusk]

I can´t better this without an effort, but can do new villa with Maxwell.

The crow/silver stuff do not make me create, but I love the glitter.

[knurrebusk]

Please do not ban me (a bit drunk), I just do stuff fast.
This is boring first, but just wait for a while I´ll make it shiny.

I´m banned in west/east, but not this place.
My weird stuff work too!, can take pictures finally. (I just asked them)

[knurrebusk]

The Mental ver is me, but Maxwell just keep a balance to it all.
I´ll do exterior Mental too, so it´s a balance in life.

No cheat, no photohore, just plain from mind.
I´ll try to show it with some help, I´ll transform this back/forth 10 times.

Many people call me arrogant, I´m not, just happy there is choise in life.
I´ll do it in V-ray, I´ll do it in Lightwave/Lightscape where I started.

[knurrebusk]

It´s all about tools, gonna do this with Mental too!
I worry about the large amount of ies lights/artifacts, but time will tell.

I worry about the hard stuff, like flashlight/underwater caustics.
Mental hate that.

Show me a river, or when doves cry I don´t care.
I´ll make something nice to distract you all.
