Bump map increases Sample Count

First I setup a new scene with a very simple setup. Four cubes, one point lamp. The biggest cube is a room with the three cubes inside. Because all white is not much of contrast I've colored the litte cubes. Material used for the first test is matte, what else? Interesting to notice: sigma 1.0 leads...

Re: Test scences GPU Path vs CPU BiDir

Ever tried to simulate snow with particles physics in blender? Or a pendulum with chains? Fludics simulations with the molecule addon? Well this takes all its time.. I‘used to wait for simple matte sphere half a day once. It dosn‘t matter how fast your system is, capabilities grow faster. My rented ...

Re: Test scences GPU Path vs CPU BiDir

Edit: by the way, your light sources are very high poly. Consider using less triangles for them. Currently you have 4536 light sources (emitting tris) in total. Since they are all in one mesh, LuxCore will automatically switch off direct light sampling for those light sources (this happens with any...

Re: Test scences GPU Path vs CPU BiDir

So hey what are those glassy rectangles on the wall? 1-way mirrors to spy on the girls in yoga class? the world's shiniest blackboards? outside windows but with nothing existing outside? meant for HDRI to shine in? (why are they framed?) Are you using a low-poly cylinder as an emitter and letting i...

Fighting Fireflies

My intenion here is to get a nice, wooden floor. It is using 7 different tiles based on the same material but different 3d mapping offset and slightly changed colors. Copied tiles and rotated them 180°, joined them and made some array copies. The walls have a bump map but you cannot see it. The scen...

mix with null and equivalent opacity

B.Y.O.B. wrote: Sat Jul 14, 2018 9:33 am I can reproduce a difference between mix with null and equivalent opacity.
It could be a bug, or maybe it is an expected behaviour, I'm not sure.
I think it would be good to log this in the LuxCore bug tracker, with an example scene.
Okay, I will open an issue today or tomorrow.
