This image was created with the Caustic material setting in IRender nXt.
A caustic is the envelope of light rays reflected or
refracted by a curved surface or object, or the projection of that
envelope of rays on another surface.
The Caustic effect produces focused light and shadow effects from a point light.
This is a glass bowl of apples, (with a pyramid procedural bump
effect), and a glass cone, rendered with transparency and refraction,
and with Caustic effects. (Reflection 0.90, refraction 1.15).
These scene is illuminated with a spotlight.
Note: Caustic does not currently work with the Sun for illumination. This scene was illuminated with a spotlight.
In IRender nXt an object is declared as Caustic by setting the Caustic flag on a material and applying the material to the object, face, or surface.
