Reflective caustics

Is there - like with refractive caustics - any workaround available that would deliver sharp reflective caustics like in these examples?

Hello Matthias,

Do you mean something like this: https://docs.arnoldrenderer.com/display/A5ARNTUT/Fake+Caustic+Effect ?

Hi Kyan,

thanks for your answer. I was specifically referring to REFLECTIVE caustics. Fake refractive caustics are not what I was looking for.

Reflective caustics are certainly possible.
