These guys keep acting like they personally made all those tools. Imagine acting superior for using a tool X instead of a tool Y. Can't sink much lower than that.

It's a shame Blender is completely locked to only using Cycles and Eevee.

Oh, wait.

It's not 'node-cucking', it's simply using Luxcore instead of cycles.

>>870076
Why single out Blender when most rendering engines are unidirectional and can't do refractive caustics like LuxCore's BiDir mode can?

Reflection caustics when?

Anonymous at Mon, 20 Dec 2021 00:37:04 UTC No. 870921

probably because caustics are not that important and slow to render

Am I missing something? This just looks like faux caustics, which most renderers support to get around not having to render actual caustics (even the ones that support real caustics via BDPT/photons). Looks like shit.

you're right, there is a massive denoiser smear on that image. It's taken from the video using the viewport denoiser, hence why it looks like shit.
The major problem is -despite looking good at a rather low sample count- that MNEES only traces refractive caustics, not reflective. These might be the majority of caustics, but only those that are inside the shadowed area of the object. The reflective part would be handled by Specular Manifold Sampling, but that's not implemented yet.

It's still a massive improvement considering we don't have rely on bi-directional raytracing for this, but i'll still wait for SMS until i can say that Blender has great caustics
