Caustics - Houdini Video Tutorial

In today's video tutorial we will be creating a caustic lighting effect using Houdini's Mantra PBR rendering engine.

This first part starts with a refresher on refraction.

We look at setting up normals correctly, then at the glass shader in Houdini, faux caustics and shadows, and using an environment light in PBR to generate 'background' reflections.
