D5 Particles casting shadows and blocking caustics

Get Help

I’m working on a water feature and I’m having trouble when adding particles from the asset library.

The particles seems to be casting shadows and blocking the caustics coming up from the water.

Is there away to stop the particles from casting shadows or affecting caustics?

I’m using D5pro version 3.0.1

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi @wdcstudios3d

Could you please specify which particle was used for this scene?

  • Currently, there is no option to exclude the particle from shadow calculations. However, since the particle can also create caustics, I believe this shouldn’t completely prevent their formation. We will take this feedback into consideration for improvement.
