Adaptive Environment Sampling on CPU and GPU A fixed number of camera paths are traced in the scene and for each path vertex – whether due to a primary ray or a secondary, GI ray – we determine its corresponding grid cell by projecting the vertex back to the camera center. It sounds like this does ...

I'd suggest to leave the UI implementation as it is and just complement the old caustic cache properties with the new ones like min radius and radius reduction. When light tracing and caustic cache are both activated it should switch to SDS-only automatically (could be indicated in tooltips). (Or is...

Thanks for this very welcome improvement!

There's more! It is animated. more.png

The outside scenery is most interesting and seeing it animated would be awesome!

By the way, would the features available in CUDA make it possible to have Bidir on GPU with less work than on OpenCL?

I guess the bad efficiency of Metropolis sampling on GPU will harm BiDir no matter if on CUDA or OpenCL.

I implemented guided path tracing in old LuxRender and results weren't good. As far as I know, neither the authors 's paper (some Corona developer) are so found of it because it is not used in Corona too. I don't know about Corona, but according to this very recent paper the Guys from Pixar, Render...

I like this new window composition very much (again)!
Especially how the Ferris wheel is hidden: It makes me shift my head - then laugh about myself

(Sorry to be of no help with the blending but here's no compo skills.)

There's no support for it in the Blender addon yet, I'll have to do that first.

Just take your time, we can use it via LuxCoreUI already

Great stuff, good choice of angles too.

With Hybrid + SDS-cache Dade has delivered another ingenious solution making things possible in short time that would've taken hours or days before.
(Time for 2.3alpha0 release I think )

BiDir must exist (and needs solution for SDS) to be the full featured "holistic" reference renderer. Yep, and that would be: New complete Bidirectional path tracing with vertex merging (BIDIRCPUVM) BiDirVM currently is an option in LuxCoreUI but it is broken (though @Fox has managed to get some gre...
