Is shadow terminator treated automatically or are there any settings to turn it on?


Just to clarify. The appleseed fix is not automatic, one can set a numeric correction factor (part of the object modifier) for the affected object.
It is not dependent on bump mapping and works on general low ...

It is not that simple.

To define a color space you need 3 parameter: primaries, white point and transfer function.
ACEScg uses a different set of RGB primaries (AP1) than sRGB! So to use it correctly the render engine has to internally support rendering with said AP1 primaries and additionally all ...

Well you're comparing caching and guiding as if they're competing for which does a better job.

Afaik these features aren't mutually exclusive, corona does pathguiding and uses caching. Also both vray's lightcache and corona's uhd cache don't suffer from lightleaks and can be used without ...

Some comments on this:
The beauty of path guiding is it allows to keep the simplicity of path tracer without running into issues like, for example, light leaks associated with photons, yet it is capable of rendering complex specular-diffuse-specular paths.
It is unbiased (no systematic errors ...

Uh ? No, LuxCore sample exactly all the visible wave lengths but only if required. Cycles trick produces a far worse results and it is totally inaccurate.

Sorry Dade if I stated some incorrect comments about LuxCore.
I think to remember that I read in this forum that when you rewrote LuxCore ...

The node setup in Cycles (variation of the IOR for R,G, and B is exactly what LuxCore does automatically in the core. It is ...

From what I found: Unbiased Photon Gathering is great, but unable to do SDS paths. Connection-based alghorithms can do SDS, but are biased. And there where Practical Path Guiding for Efficient Light-Transport Simulation by Thomas Müller, Markus Gross, Jan Novák on CGI tech news box thread, which ...

This is, hand down, the best stuff out of SIGGRAPH 2019: "Path Guiding in Production" (https://jo.dreggn.org/path-tracing-in-production/2019/index.html)

Having the author's implementation based on a well-known codebase (Mitsuba) is great, and I'm really looking forward to see it implemented in ...

First i tried aplleseed studio(not very user friendly :shock:),than tried blenderseed addon, which gave me a bunch of errors in latest 2.79 Blender build.

Being somehow involved in appleseed development I don't want to hold you off using LuxCore, on the contrary. It is a great render engine ...
