What Real Caustics - Water Caustics Generator does
Real Caustics is a Blender plugin that generates the shimmering light patterns seen on pool floors and seabeds. It tracks a moving water surface frame by frame, so the pattern follows the shape of the fluid.
It works with fluid simulations, the Ocean modifier, dynamic paint and any mesh-based water. Caustics are baked to a texture, which adds nothing to render time and involves neither path tracing nor noise. That makes it practical for animations where real caustic rendering would be slow or grainy.
