      Hello, I am trying to render a pool scene and get caustics, while using only the sun. But after 1000 trials, using all settings I could think of, I am still failing miserably!

      If I turn off the Sun and use some artificial light (omni or retangular) the water pool WILL give me nice caustics! Its only when I try using the sun that it doesnt work!

      But I know its possible, just look at what this guy achieved, using only the sun!
      http://forum.asgvis.com/index.php?topic=3779.45
      (at the last page of the same thread I showed my caustics using omni and rectangular)

      But this guy is not around that forum anymore... and the links for those scenes are all off (topic is old)

      So please... does anyone here at Sketchucation has any idea?

          I already have this video and following it is useless and produces no caustics at all.
