<br>
you are correct, the tooltips should be changed, will do in a
minute. <br>
I reversed the option based on feedback, and because it is more
consistent with the other options, I forgot about the tooltips
though. <br>
<br>
Thanks for bringing this up! :)<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>

After further thoughts, best to keep same introduction as Shadows
tool-tip, with "Use", rather than "Include".<br>

it appears ticking this will include that type of caustics)<br>

<font face="Calibri">Thank you Thomas for your work on
separating caustics capabilities.<br>
<br>
From a UI perspective, now that selection of caustics
functions are effectively reversed (previous Blender versions,
a tick indicated No Caustics), now a tick indicates an
inclusion of that caustics functions, this perfectly follows
on from above Shadows option and seems more logical. On that
basis, is it possible that tool-tips should read as a
positive? For example:<br>
<br>
Currently 3 close together UI options with their tool-tips...<br>
<b>Shadows: "Use transparency of surfaces for rendering
shadows"</b> (reading this its clear that ticking this will
use transparency) <br>
<b>Reflective Caustics: "Leave out reflective caustics,
resulting in darker image with less noise"</b> (reading this
it could indicate ticking this will not include that type of
caustics)<br>
</font>
<div class="moz-signature"><b>Refractive Caustics: "Leave out
refractive caustics, resulting in darker image with less
noise"</b> (as above)<br>
<br>
Possible alternatives?<br>
<b>Reflective Caustics: "Include reflective caustics,
resulting in brighter image, more noise but added realism"</b>
(reading this it appears ticking this will include that type
of caustics)<br>
<b>Refractive Caustics: "Include refractive caustics,
resulting in brighter image, more noise but added realism"</b>
(as above)<br>
<br>
As someone with dyslexia I hope above info makes sense and is
in some way helpful. When I first tried the new caustics
functions, I was not sure if I needed to tick the options for
inclusion or exclusion. As mentioned, your new implementation
is definitely better, ticking for caustics inclusion.<br>
<br>
Thank you kindly for your time,<br>
David<br>
