Caustics with Easy 10

I saw an object that was interesting to me for testing caustics with Easy 10 render setting.
If you have FastForward AI denoise addon for Twilight Render it makes Easy 10 viable as a presentation tool whereas you needed a serious render beast of a machine, now with a cpu of 12 threads you can get pretty cool results quite surprisingly quickly.

I will do some lighting and object arrangement experimentation here, and then I'll post the model for you to try for yourself. :hat:

I think I will do a little more work on the caustics object model. I'm not quite satisfied with the form yet.

What do you think of this one?
The reflections in the drink glass and through the glass object are fascinating.
I will continue to experiment.

Yes, very interesting reflections. :hat:

Maybe someday I can get a new laptop and participate in things like this. :mrgreen:

Looking forward to your future experiments. :D

Inspired by Massimo's work we can try to push this scene further.
I call these "Balance".

Trying to create some really strong caustics through the glass.
Not quite there yet, but seeing some promising results. This last one rendered in 3.5 mins. Couldn't have imagined rendering on Easy 10 in 3.5 mins 10 years ago. :shock:
