A tutorial I was asked to write after posting a rough explanation of faked caustics directly inside Terragen 2 in a forum. [link]

Everything for .tgd scene described in the tutorial is included in the download.

Download is 739kb.

You can also view the full tutorial online here... [link]

Thanks! :)

*** UPDATE ***
Now edited as I forgot to say to UNPLUG the 'Caustics Image Map' from 'Caustics Ground Function' after the 'dry' render is done. We only want caustics underwater! :lol:
Thanks. :)

Yes, the water does have real 'bump' it's gently displaced(under half a cm. scale) with the actual caustics image map, so the caustic luminosity layer matches the waves exactly. :)
I enjoy trying to do things I'm not really alowed/supposed to be able to do, this is one of them, as T2 currently doesn't support transparency or refraction for water(or objects in general) by normal means yet. ;)

No probs.
You'll just need to take the basic ideas from the tut' and adjust them to your scene to suit.

Cheers! :)
