Re: Luxcore vs CyclesX Benchmark

It's not about scrambling, it's about using noise threshold for adaptive sampling. I notice in your video that you actually turned it off. That's an optimization which brings afaik no downsides, all it does is that it stops wasting samples on places with little noise and instead spends more time on ...

You generally do not need to set scrambling distance to get the best rendering times. You do however need to leave the "noise threshold" checkbox enabled (it's enabled by default), which disables the scrambling distance options altogether anyway. Noise threshold enables the new implementat...
