I appreciate the help in advance thanks...

Chaos group just did a video of this exact question. The video goes kind of fast, I had to pause it a couple of times, but it covers it.

For some reason the water material I downloaded didnt produce
caustics.
So I created my own from the tutorial. I know I havent
installed the latest Vray. Im not at work otherwise
Id tell you what it is.

Anyway once I made the water material from the tutorial it
worked. Id been trying to get caustics for the last year.

So double thumbs up on the tutorial

Good luck....keep trying
