Well if we will have indirect and caustic caching you won't need bidir, would you? + this type of denoiser and rendertimes will be in minutes for complex scenes
The strength of Luxcore is its unique light balance, which is even better in Bidir than in Path.
PhotonGI is biased and what kind of light mood it will produce remains to be seen once it's finished.
I wonder what the cache sizes will be on complex scenes and if it all fits into GPU ram or what happens to render speed if it doesn't.
Also it is possible to use a photon cache for indirect light importance sampling in Bidir and Path (slower than direct lookup but unbiased with no splotches
).
There are lots of very interesting combinations possible...

Another test.
Samples: 128
BCD denoising time: 53 seconds (default settings)
OIDN denosing time: 1.7 seconds (yes, less than 2 seconds)

And another one, this time with a 1000 samples image for comparison.

It should be "trivial" to integrate as another image pipeline plugin

Yes. The API looks a lot simpler than the one of BCD on first inspection.

I will take a shot, even though I shouldn't

needs albedo pass to maximize potential

I have forked into
https://github.com/Alpistinho/LuxCore.
Thanks to the tutorial in the wiki I have added a dummy implementation for the classes and got it compiling.
I hope I don't take too long to get it working

I'm pretty sure we can add that.
