Hi all,

I have a nice scene with some glass objects. There're two lights (one 
point light and one area light). Everything is beautiful, shadows below 
those glassy things are nice coloured depending on the interior section:

   interior {
     ior 1.9
     fade_power 1001
     fade_distance 0.65
     fade_color <1.0, 1.0, 0.0>
   }

BUT - whenever I try to use photons, those shadows become pure black 
(under the glass - I mean when I can see this shadow directly, its 
transparent - although not coloured, just gray, but when I'm looking on 
this shadow through the glass, it's black). Is it max_trace_level too 
low? I've set it as high as 20 and nothing changes... I'd really want to 
add some nice caustics, but for now the better version comes without 
photons.
BTW, is there any other method to get refractive caustics? Even fake one...

cheers
