Hello friends.
I'm a new luxcorerender user, within Blender 2.8.
I've taken a scene built around cycles and fired up with luxrender.
The first i've done is with all the caches enabled and Sobol NOT DENOISED
The second one is with BIDIR and METROPOLIS
The third one is the cycles reference.
All those setups took around 50 minutes to complete. The Metropolis one took slighty more, around 70 minutes
Using a i7-7700 only cpu compute device.
I confess i'm a bit disappointed about all the noise luxrender generates, but i feel it's due to a faulty setup in the scene.
I've only 2 lights in the scene. One inside the shower, one out of the windows, textured emission. (1 area light, 1 mesh light -1 face-)
The only thing i changed in lux configs is the Auto brightness of the camera (which, honestly, i don't know why it comes ON by default.. this is a bit confusing for the new users IMHO)
That said, i can attach the scene if this helps understand why -or if- i'm doing something wrong.
Luxrender is amazing.. thank you all for developing this great piece of software!

I guess you need to set the glass to architectural glass or use: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1474
Re: Luxrender vs Cycles NOISE
will be better to have the blend file.
It is easy to kill performance when uncontroled artificial light and env light are mixed for new user. Also sometime Clamp value is not correctly set or not used at all.
in your scene there is alot of reflective surface so not sure PGI will help you that much.

Re: Luxrender vs Cycles NOISE
Thank you for your support!
I'll post the blend scene soon.

In LuxCore code yes, not sure about BlendLuxCoreSharlybg wrote: ↑Tue Nov 12, 2019 4:57 pmavailable in last builds ?Dade wrote: ↑Tue Nov 12, 2019 3:58 pm I guess you need to set the glass to architectural glass or use: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1474
Re: Luxrender vs Cycles NOISE
Also more than happy to help with scene optimisation, it can take a little to get used too sometimes from Cycles.
Often, doing things the Cycles way (especially with materials) can often be detrimental to Lux, and simpler setups often get the result your looking for.

here you are the blend file, finally..

i used wetrasfer limited upload as the forum didn't allow me to... 10megs file.

1__ There is no env light in your scene so turn of Env cache
2__ turn on Clamp set it to 30 or 20 (useless fireflies killer)
3__ turn on Photon Gi :
4__ always use thicked walls. will save you a lot headache.
5__ some of your shader have too high albedo value (wall/fake spot/ marble) pur white isn't good for any renderer (70% max white = good perf )
Hope it help !
Re: Luxrender vs Cycles NOISE
this is 5mn render on my outdated i7 4930k.
Raw
Denoise
Another things.
1__ you switch to archglass and disable Lightracing
OR
2__ download last build and use hybrid glass
