I am curious what Blender devs are planning towards improved caustics in Cycles and Eevee.

Path guiding is already in master (CPU only at the moment) and that can help with caustics, although it wasn’t designed specifically for that purpose.

There is a specific thread where people have been testing it and posting results:

Cycles_path_guiding tests

Now you can load the official experimental build here Important,its CPU only for now This branch is still in development,please post no bugreport. No bugreports are accepted until the branch make it into the master. Here is the patch development https://developer.blender.org/D15286
