Hi !!

I want to render the shadows and caustics a light projects
on a wall, but excluding the object of this additional light
source.

Is there a way to achieve this ? (R 8.5)

Cheers [T]

You need to have two lights, a cuastics lihgt and a diffuse light, then what you do is you exclude the object in the light that's there for the diffuse light (in it's scene tab), and in the caustics only light you turn off the diffuse and specular options. Now you should be good to go.

Works :thumbsup:

Now I need to reduce the flickering in the Caustic reflections.

Do I achieve this by increasing the number of photons or do
other parameters also have an influenve regarding the smoothness
of the animation ?
