Tutorial: Photon Caustic Tricks In OctaneRender

If you're working with jewelry, beverage design, cosmetics, or any other 3D project that requires caustics, don't miss Raphael Rau aka SilverwingVFX's latest video, where he breaks down his newest hyperrealistic creation. This tutorial is light-linking and OctaneRender performance-oriented, focusing on some tricks the artist used for optimization and splitting caustics out into their own AOV.

This video isn't a step-by-step guide to recreating the scene but rather a breakdown of how to achieve crisp, realistic caustics, so you can get it on Raphael's Patreon for a closer look. Also, check out his other tutorials and subscribe to his YouTube channel for more:
