Caustics
The Caustics generator creates an animated, simulated water surface. The size, speed,
refraction, brightness, and color of the Caustics pattern can be modified and animated.
You can use the Caustics generator to add light patterns to a project, or as the source
object for an image map.
Parameters in the Inspector
Size: Sets the size of the shapes and spaces in the pattern. Values range from 0 to .5.
Speed: Sets the speed of movement of the light patterns. Values range from 0 to 2.
Refraction: Sets the refraction of the light shapes. Values range from 0 to 200.
Brightness: Sets the brightness of the light shapes. Values range from 0 to 50.
Color: Picks the color of the light shapes. Use the disclosure triangle to display Red,
Green, Blue, and Alpha sliders for more precise color selection.
