Seriously do you think you will be able to use cached caustics if there was a one click solution like the one in Light tracing ?? 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?
I'm with Unitymedia/Vodafone.
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...

Testing v2.5 beta, 4 days rendering 250 frames but still not enough samples.

The long cache processing time is probably due to the scattering volume seen in the image, producing volumetric cache entries.

what is the point of making a noiseless smaller image first than upscale it, when you can render a noisy large image than denoising it in one step. Good point. I'm assuming that rendering at a smaller resolution with more samples (vs full resolution with less samples) results in less noise with big...

If albedo and shading normal pass were rendered with double/quadruple resolution it should be possible to scale up the render without missing details, similar to what denoisers already do. Also I don't really understand why DOF rendering isn't much faster. Anything within out of focus blur doesn't n...
