Caustics, or caustic lighting, are one of the most recognizable effects in 3D rendering, appearing as concentrated patterns of light around reflective or refractive objects. They are also among the hardest lighting effects to reproduce accurately.

Naturally, they can take a long time to render without multiple computers or the help of a

CGI, or computer-generated imagery, is any visual content created with computer software, from still images and digital effects to fully animated 2D or 3D scenes. It has dominated modern film and game production for a long time because it simply makes physically challenging or even impossible scenes doable.
