| Caustics in LightWave® 3D | |
|
Caustics in LightWave® 3D provide fast and accurate light reflection and refraction. Generally, a caustic appears in the real world when light reflects off a curved surface or refracts through a transparent surface so that it is focused on a small area.

| Digital Confusion | |
| Digital Confusion is a new Depth of Field filter included in LightWave® [7] which offers traditional depth of field control but also includes several additional features, including rendering of hidden geometry for accurate background blurring, and optional iris shapes for matching various camera styles, and also the aspect ratio and rotation angle of the camera lens. The user also has the option of selecting a reference object from the Autofocus menu to automatically compute the proper focal distance. |  |
