Had fun making this visualization of the Real-Time Caustics controls in my Shaders Plus addon! You can check out Shaders Plus on Gumroad and Blendermarket right now! :) The 3D UI is also functional and has basic customization features through Geometry Nodes. I'll be expanding it further soon 😎... #b3d #blender3d #blender #shadersplus #cyclesrender #cycles #caustics #realtimerendering #blenderaddonshow more

Is there a way to test it outside blender? Where are those sliders you play with? Web?

Unfortunately no, this is all inside blender, including the sliders. They are 3D models programmed to behave like the UI sliders, but are still baked into blender and are manually keyframed

Looks amazing, is it physically accurate caustics, or more of a caustics 'effect'

It's absolutely an effect, but it does it's best to simulate realistic caustics effects in most use cases, but yes. That's how it's able to achieve it's performance

Amazing work!

Thank you! 🥰

cool

Goddamn I'm actually working on a scene and i might just use this if i can

Be sure to share the results if you do! :)
