LuxCoreRender Forums

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.)

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 ge...

If Bidir have to exist it need more love , a kind performance boost via online learning algo: guided bidir I agree on path guiding for BiDir, perhaps instead of developing an online learning algorithm the already existing PGI photon cache could be used? Edit: Thinking about it, using PGI makes no s...

I like the first one best.
It looks like it is rendered in a cube, would like to see a render in a sphere too

Ok I see.

Is there any reason to possibly have higher sample step value?
In my testing with caustic cache I ended always with lowest step possible and then adjusting photon count.

Maybe spp should be fixed to a low value (one less parameter to expose).

Yes please!
