Yeah well it shows that 'bounces' do exactly what they say on the tin...

They bounce things around...

Nice example Dries...

Excellent examples there folks.

I'm having a current issue with a render that unfortunately I can not post as it is part of an advanced vehicle lighting scheme but sufficed to say, simply counting the refractive surfaces to a reflective surface, multiplying by two, plus two is not the answer.

As shown above, with no regard to caustics, I find I am not getting all the optical effect of multiple inner lenses when just using the math. There is a threshold, to ray bounces (with accuracy)/render time, but I haven't found it yet.
