Caustics & HDR lighting samples

Written by Jeff Patton on 20 August 2007.

For those that need to examine a 3dsmax9 caustic scene, I'm providing a simple setup that uses A&D materials and illustrates both reflective and refractive caustics. In this entry I've also provided a few HDR configurations that you can explore.

First up is the caustic scene. In this scene you'll find both reflective & refractive caustic examples.

Next, I posted some .hdr examples over at the Vizdepot.com website. Thought I'd add them here as well.

EDIT: Post edited because the HDR example files are no longer available on my server. Blog entries may be discussed in the 3DA forums HERE
