Underwater Caustics - Advanced Materials - Episode 41

In this shader tutorial for Unreal and Unity, I show how to create caustics under the water that we've been creating. We use a volumetric decal and I show how to project the caustics on all three axes to give the appearance that the sun light is being focused and refracted by the water.
