Now that the daily build has the 2.4 branch, I'd like to test it.
Thanks for reminding me, I have added BlendLuxCore support.

Please, add a way to stop a cache calculation.
With just a quality setting, it's very difficult to forecast how much heavy will be the cache calculation.

So, to cut away every doubt, a responsive way to stop it is more than welcome.

Result are noisier and darker while using Envcache.

Just trying to reproduce the behaviour with a simpler scene.

Most noise in this scene comes from indirect light, which is not accelerated by env. light cache (use PhotonGI instead).

This is the result when I set max bounces to 1 (only render direct light):
