Caustics

Light focused through a moving water surface

The bright, moving web of light that water throws on the floor of a pool. The lines cross, pull apart and flare where the light focuses, with faint colour fringes along the sharpest ones. Low sharpness is a soft glow; high sharpness is hard caustic line work.

Rendering cost: medium. A few dozen samples per pixel: comfortable fullscreen on a discrete GPU, but cap the pixel ratio for a retina hero. How to tune it
