Fake discoball caustics on a wall

Support Materials and Textures
1

I tried to make discoball reflections with cycles but that seems not to work.

Now i try to use a caustics texture that is stretching while rotated, but i cant get it work too.
Can anyone help with this please? :slight_smile:

I get a bit near to it, but it looks quite wrong.

cannot read file !

can you elaborate a little !

are you doing fake caustic on a wall or floor ?

is it Cycles or EEVEE ?

for more realist caustic use Yafaray or Lux renderer !

It is a file from 3.1alpha, i can open it still with 3.0.

In cycles, i try to fake caustic on a wall. I just want it simple with stretching the texture to the sides.

i cannot use bl 3
hope someone else can help with that

but i will check if i can find a disco ball !

I find a solution, and it is better than faking, but only works in cycles with light nodes:
