many thanks for sharing.

I like that you let us create the file to get the result.
This is way more intensive than downloading a finished file.

p.s. If you want to get that chromatic abberation look to it then use 3 different IOR for the glass and render 3 times using Red, Green and Blue lights. Then composite using Add mode.

Like this (http://www.hypa.tv/tims/hypacaustic02.html)

my samples in the material illumination tab only go up to 100000. Is this right? Or is my app wonky. I am using 9.5

Edit:

sorry I was changing the samples, doh!

Hi, maybe this is a really stupid question, but I have had no formal training and I dont really know what I am doing, but I have tried using caustics as well as affect radiosity in my renders and when I go into the caustics screen in render options its all gray, I can't check or uncheck anything, the same thing applies when I try and affect caustics on a light object, I feel that perhaps I am just stupid and dont know what I am doing, please help, Oh im using 8.2 if that matters. Thanks

do u own the advanced render module?

<<Here>> (http://www.3d.is/e107_files/public/6_preview.avi) is my try =) i used green, red and blue lights 200.000 samples 400% energy and it rendered in about 10 mins, 90 frames

not as cool as yours Tim heh but its a shot at it.. thanks a million for sharing your technics !! =D

You need the advanced render for caustics. I sounds to me like you don't have it :(
