This is my scene file if anyone feels like playing around with it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vbt2al5hn6r3bq6/caustics2.3dm?dl=0

thanks Jon I will look into projection maps. Of course it is easy to photoshop, but I really want to be able to produce it from vray, its really bugging me haha!

Hi, does anyone have a simple rhino vray scene of a swimming pool/water lit by an HDRI and with an invisible sunlight to give the caustic reflections and refractions that they wouldnt mind sharing? Have watched and read lots of tutorials, it seems like a straightforward process, but nothing seems to be working, would be very useful to reverse engineer someones file. Or any advice/input. I would really appreciate any help! Thanks Paddy

Hi Im trying to create volumetric light passing between mirrors in c4d as shown in the photoshop mockup. The issue is I can only get this to work with parallel & spot lights which have a cylindrical shape and I need it to be like a rectange due to the shape of the mirror. I have tried an area light as it is a rectangular shaped light emittor which is what I need but it doesnt seem to work. I have also tried barn doors on a spotlight but that didnt work too. Any help would be great. Thanks Paddy
