How much time did this render take on what cpu?
It must have been 8-10 hours overnight on e5 2620 v4 cpu.
I play with the scene more, see if something better comes out of it.
Fox, thank you for answering!

PhotonGi settings 10.09.2019.png
Now that's a maxed out setting table
But the result looks good though PathCPU & Metro together with caustic cache should render double caustics (+SDS).
I have been thinking a hybrid engine with PathCPU Metro for caustics+SDS only and PathOCL for the rest would be interesting

This looks great!
And I like the spots too (Laci was asking for lens flares anyways...)

Just by the way... here's how it looks faked in cycles
rendered in ~3 minutes...
It has few issues that could be solved, but often this would be good enough and fast enough... The flexibility rayswitching allows for is just amazing(not just for faking caustics..)

They are not exactly hard to fake in LuxCore too:
with the not so small difference that they are true caustics instead of faked one.

except you get no refractions and you get really weird darkening on meshes under water...

This is not a 3 minutes, but i found most interesting how much the HDR improves water.

CPU PT
Halt Time: 90 s
Same geo, same IORs, colours HEX, default Sun & Sky...
LuxCore (w/ light tracing and all caches ON)
Corona ("Fast caustics solver" & "Generate caustics from environment")
About "Too Dark & Too Bright"... From real world I'd say LuxCores reflected caustics are more correct, it's only too much loos in refractive volume under glass (
my old enemy). I suspect there's a mistake somewhere about how gamma is handled. Look at the corners how light bounced in Lux version gets darker
Of course I can be wrong.
Also, Corona is much simpler, faster to set & reach the goal... while user also gets a caustic pass to fiddle with in post (if needed).
