Hello everyone. I was just wondering if Brazil is capable of producing volume caustics like Final Render. Also, is there any tutorials on these effects for the different rendering engines? I am going crazy trying to reproduce this effect. I would like to see the process involved in the different engines. Thanks in advance.

Heya,

Nope.. Brazil r/s doesn't support volume gi (including caustics).

Not sure how finalRender handles it.. finalRender comes bundled with another cebas plugin called Bunch of Volumes, which handled these effects.

No clue about the other renderers, except Mental Ray.. I believe it actually supports complete participating media (i.e. not just caustics in fog.), but I may be mistaken.

Best regards,
Richard Annema
