Weird caustic problem

Support Basics & Interface
1

Hello

I’ve tried to follow this tutorial https://blenderartists.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30265 to create caustics. The caustics are showing but not in the proper way. The cube’s material also isn’t rendered as it should be. Here are my settings and a pic of the failed caustic render.

Thanks in advance, Fritz.

Increase the depth.

I believe depth=6 is enough. Is it a texture problem? and why the cube is ghost like? %|

Thx for the input, I tried to increase the depth but that didn’t help too much. Any other ideas?

Greetz, Fritz.

I’ve told you it not a depth problem. Post you mapping & texture settings.

Did you forget to set the IOR of the cube material to something meaningful?

Ian.

Yup, it seemed that the IOR was the problem. After increasing it’s value the caustics were rendered as they should be. Thx guys!

Greetz, Fritz.
