“Pi-ray”
NVIDIA has begun their own independent Beta for mental ray 3.14 for Autodesk Maya 2016.
Its nickname is “pi-ray” because, you know, 3.14159….
This is a development alpha/beta. Features are introduced one after another for testing and feedback instead of one big bag of features all at once.

Hi David
Any news on caustics working with the new (GI) Prototype?
Cheers

GI Next doesn’t handle caustics (bidirectional) on its own yet so photons are still required (and possibly faster) for now. But it does everything else.
