I'd love to see a one-click-caustics-incl.SDS-solution in Lux but I fear compared with Chaos Group here's a lack of resources to pull off something that probably took a ...

BiDir was never a valid ground truth renderer because of the missing SDS reflections, except when using intersectable lights and rendering for 24 hours. When this problem finally gets solved by adding PGI cache it is very welcome. No one is forced to use this addition, it can be disabled by default....

Then it might be a problem with german internet providers?

The good thing is that the Wiki is not broken, I can access it via proxy site.

Yes, here too

Thanks for this addition! Awesome news, Are there any limitations? Not that I'm aware of, it is really like using PhotonGI caustic cache with path tracing+light tracing. Light tracing does not catch indirect caustics (DSD paths) and the caustic cache thus not DSDS paths. BiDir can do those, but DSDS...
