ray-traced caustics
Ray-traced caustics refer to the realistic rendering of light patterns created by the refraction or reflection of light, usually when it passes through or reflects off a curved or irregular surface. This process involves tracing individual rays of light and simulating their behavior as they interact with the surface, resulting in accurate and visually appealing caustic effects.
