  Hi, Nathan. I noticed some splotchiness when using area spotlights
that doesn't appear in the caustics when a simple spotlight is used. I
was able to obtain a reasonably smoother caustics by increasing the
photon radius (I think). Also, the smaller I made the phd value, the
more pronounced the splotchiness became.
