Re: PhotonGI cache

The development is so fast I cannot keep up testing :lol: ATM tweaking photon counts and the other parameters is quite tricky. Will it be possible to automate them like adaptive/progressive photon mapping that stops when density is sufficient? Also lookup.maxcount/radius/normalangle are difficult to...

Re: PhotonGI cache

Haha, it works, this is a rendering with 15 samples/pixel of LuxCore Benchmark and cache: :shock: Amazing! I thought there is a poor rate of photons registered from sunlight but fortunately it seems I was wrong :D And yet still without metropolis photon gathering, right? Would this work with an HDR...

Re: playing with caustics

New animation of IOR, shape and rotation.
Forgot to disable automatic tonemapping but after retiming to 50% it is less visible.

Ok thanks for the hint!

Re: Mac OS

Just wanted to say that since the trouble with the first alpha for Mac the latest beta is very stable and I have no issues (and therefore didn't look further into the former because they are apparently solved). I don't use the OpneCL version though because I don't trust nVidia's drivers and my GT750...

Re: PhotonGI cache

You have forgot to replace the roughmatte with matte material. Ooops :oops: In Blender I assigned a matte material with sigma=0 and then didn't check the cfg file. Apparently this produces a roughmatte material, so how to make matte from Blender? (Assigning no material does the trick: "matte&q...

Re: PhotonGI cache

Ok, I got it working and I think this is going to be really awesome! The psor-cube file is Bidir metro at default but when changing the engine to path it creates nice caustics quickly. I copied the photonGI parameters into my causticcube file and it didn't work at first until I changed "rougmat...
