I believe that example demonstrates the new/improved caustic features of C3.
I forget what is in C2 vs C3... however, you should be able to use one of
the presets available in the "Basic Transparency" and "Basic Refraction"
shader browser panel as a starting point for glass. Just make sure you
enable at least "Refraction", "Transparency", and "Light Through
Transparency" in the Render room. You may also want to enable "Reflection"
in the Render room but you'll have to make sure there is something to
reflect (e.g. other objects or a foreground / background pictures) for the
reflection to be usefull.
