Thanks! I hope that now the caustics will be much easier to generate.

here's a link to some explanation and the material pack

the water material is Single Sided so it doesn't behave physically correct any more. for example if you use the material with the Thea Pool Scene, you'll see that the pole in the water isn't refracted or reflected right. the look of the pool under water is very different too.

looks good though, and very fast to clear

Indeed sort of "ThinFilm" with caustics... Nice for illustrative purposes I think.

This is great news, Giannis! 8-)

I render nearly exclusively on TR2 for this very reason as almost every shot I do has a pool. :clap:
