Sigle dielectrics look so sweet in Maxwell...

I love this image! And 14 samples in this resolution in 4 hours is quite good imo.

By the way, try this with a smaller emitter and a bigger fill light, to get sharper, more pronounced caustics.

mmh.. it seems that the glass has no thickness on edges; maybe lathing an outlined profiled could help...

I've noticed that Caustics do not show up as much as the used to in the alpha versions.

Do you need to select volumetric scattering box to make caustics work?

Seems they are gone in my beta scenes when they were there in the alpha versions.
