can we finally get a caustics solver like octane render 2022 has?

can we finally get a caustics solver like octane render 2022 has with their new photon tracer then fstorm will finally be the GOAT!

Sorry, no plans for caustic.

I would really love to see a caustic solver as well. I had client who requested it and I had to do a seperate caustic render with corona and combine it in post.. not ideal at all

Caustics and UDIM support are the only two things stopping me from using FStorm. Other than that, it's one of the best renderers I've ever used. Really sad that Dev isn't planning on developing these features.

Hi Karba
Why so much aversion to this feature when everyone agrees that it should be a priority? I don't understand.

caustics are really missing for the realism of many CG scenes (architectural, still life, automotive... ). That would me my "most wanted" feature too !

Caustics is notoriously hard to solve

There are solutions nowadays....it´s not rocket science anymore.
I´m also missing Caustics in FStorm very much. FStorm is great but to deliver super realism (and that´s the goal) Caustics are a must, no doubt.
