I can not add anything more without a test scene.

here:

I've tried your scene and it works in the same way.

I've also tried to change the units scale and scale down the objects according to the "real" scale, apply the scale but nothing change.
I've tried this to check of some units transformation introduce some problem... bu nothing change in the rendering

This wasnt happening before, something has changed in recent builds... or a bug

if you use a smaller Lookup radius the leaks disappear...try with 5cm for example.

From my point of view, the best solution is to have something not related with the geometry thickness. Modelling the thickness of the wall is not the quickest way to model a room or a building. Often, having just flat surfaces without thickness give more flexibility.

It is caused by the yesterday change: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=840&start=480#p10380

I reverted the change so now your scene works fine (but your radius is really big for this scene has spotted by Marcatore).

@Marcatore, about the original problem (viewtopic.php?f=5&t=840&start=470#p10360), just use the default parameters so the floor will be rendered with normal path tracing in order to avoid the artifact. Or just use the flag to disable PhotonGI on floor material if you want to change the parameters anyway.

I'm thinking, shouldn't cache filtering radius get larger as cache entry radius gets smaller?

At the moment most parameters a relative to the radius and it is often quite handy. They could be expressed in absolute term but than you would have to change all the parameters if you want the same result with a different radius.

What is normal angle parameter doing? low values seem to make image darker
higher values seem much more closer to normal pathtracing...

EDIT: I'm testing this on the 2.1 benchmark scene

Also, no matter what I do I cannot make the 2 wall objects gather photons
(reseted scale, shading, collapsed modifiers and turned ngons to triangles etc...) they just don't gather photons

It looks like another NaNs problem, I will check.

So, why does the default normal angle kill so much of the light? 10° seems very low

90deg normal angle: 10deg normal angle: 10degree normal angle kills a lot of GI light and also seems to be darker than pathtracing only..

by the way these are 1min and 13sec renders on gtx1060!
