D5 Caustic Effect Problem 2.10!

There is a similar problem with caustic as with the emissive topic I opened before. Caustic effect is disabled at a certain distance, and as you get closer it starts to be activated according to the distance. The effect of caustic effect is not visible in long-range renders. I am adding 3 images so you can see the caustic effect entering the scene step by step.

Hi there,

Caustics involve complex light calculations; hence, D5 might reduce the accuracy or detail of caustics at a distance to save computational resources.

You may also try modifying the:

Preview cull distance is already 1000m.

LOD is already off, I turned all of these off to see all the details in the preview.

The images I sent you are the final render, these settings you sent are only valid for real time. It does not affect the final render result.

Hi @Furkan

We’ve just confirmed that Caustics does certainly have a limit. D5 reduces the accuracy or detail of caustics at a distance to save resources.

  • Caustics have a distance limitation; values are calculated differently based on varying angles, typically around 200m.
