Animation with Caustics

[n3o]

Hey guys!

Here is a try of an animation with caustics. Rendered all day but I think I don´t have the right settings for animation-rendering. I also rendered without prepass. :roll:
How can I prepass the caustics?

the render is great also loved the drop but u need to fix the flickering :wink:
but did it take all day long to render T.T

lol at the end of the video the frame is still not rendered :lol:

Yeah! I was shocked about the flickering caustics. Got to work much more with the settings.
I dont know why the render took so long. One reason is that I didn´t render with prepass for sure.

As you can see, the single-frame render took 9mins with an Intel-Dualcore at 3,3 GHz.

did u make the iirrdaince then load it again in the final render for animation?

looks cool!
...it is not the caustics that flicker, but the water is moving, therfore the focus ponitmoves constanly...., next time you stand on a pool look at the "caustics" on the ground, rhey are moving constantly
