mia caustics

[lee griggs]

Hi, has anyone got any caustics out of the mia material for maya?

I can get caustics with a blinn material in the same scene, but mia and dielectric do not produce anything.

cheers,

Have you connected them as photon shaders?

ah, that will be why :o

Can you explain how and what to connect as a photon shader to get caustics in the mia_shader please.:)

You have just to plug the mia itself into the photon shader slot on it's own SG. Then click Refractive caustics on.
