Aha, ok... how about this? Optimizations: Persistent Images option to keep images loaded on the device, saved time initializing next rendering. (r52030) Release notes: Blender 2.65 . & that's about all i could find for now ah, well i know nothing... just trying to help thanks for everything 8-)

edit2: spot on, it's the "Persistent Images" setting of Cycles. Of course, it is nowhere documented what this setting actually does and what it means for an external renderer... :? It looks like it... IDK if it's of any help, I only found this: [Differential > D2613] Cycles: Implement per...

Will all Pixel Filters be added and exposed as they used to be?

Oh, i use it constantly with Cycles for animations & I simply never thought that could be it.
Was a huge deal breaker, preventing rendering animations with Lux.

So TYVM, i really appreciate finding the cause.

Error: "Unknown shape: Mesh-Mesh_Cube_332126776000" - every time after first render (even on a simple scene: cube, sun, sky) / screenshot from a console: https://i.imgur.com/aqNfLiG.jpg First i used "Purge Orphan Data" to start another render, but still animation was impossible....

sexy as always

Yup, am aware... just leaving a note if anyone stumbles wondering: "WTH?!?"

Also, would be nice to have checkbox options to activate/deactivate refractive & reflective caustics as are in Cycles ('Filter Glossy' would also be nice).

Thanks.

I am suspecting caustics.

Clamping pretty much resolves it. But it then introduces darkening which consequently also diminishes dispersion (& even setting a tiny amount becomes useless; ie. glass becomes orange-reddish).

note: bellow the sphere are glasses

Here, here... on the last three options and slowly growing

But I also had to remove the old addon folder manually because I got the same error as you.

Same here.
