        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.

            Did you download the material? In the zip file is the map.

            or you can just load the vismat and skip the tutorial.

              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 πŸ‘ πŸ‘

              Good luck....keep trying
