Additional Information

There is quite a difference enabling Multi Scattering for homogenous volumes.

There is a gap in the Laser Beam rendering with BiDir, Metropolis.

Hi bartek_zgo

Your renders look to me as if Camera>Tonemapper applied somehow with different settings.

How the three parameters of the Metropolis Sampler influence rendering.

Hi daros
Some of the rendered pictures are really overwhelming..
I wonder how many people and work hours are involved to create such detailed scenes.

Another note: This kind of setup doesn't require BiDir Engine to work.
The result should be mostly the same when using light tracing - at least as far as the directly visiable beam is concerned.



Well, for some setups it makes quite a difference whetter one uses BiDir or Path with Light ...
