I'm trying to recreate the result from this tutorial http://www.cgarena.com/freestuff/tutorials/max/caustics/ in Max2012 using A&D materials, but no matter what i do i just can't get any useful result. Tried low and high photons and sampling combinations with no luck.
This is the render without caustics:

And this is what i get with 8 milion
photons and energy on 500000:http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/68 ... ustics.jpg
