Caustics Fake

There are many interesting caustics applications in Unreal 4/5, but it often only works as long as you don't look below the water surface. This prompted me to find a solution where plausible caustics are also visible underwater. The whole thing is, of course, a fake including the buoyancy of the red cylinder. The project with the solution for the fake caustics can be requested from me at: theolix@icloud.com. If you want real caustics, you can look here, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8zFiLN8B3g or here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXCBTcC3MtE or here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXCBTcC3MtE. The whole projects was done on a Mac Studio with M2 Ultra Processor. Software: Unreal Engine 5.2 / Handbrake / Apple Final Cut Pro and Apple Logic Pro.
