    Luxcore caustics look beautiful

    Thank you for this, my 3rd time getting back into Blender. Just discovered Luxcore by chance and compared with cycles a quick test with my orange juice bottle project luxcore blew it out of the water, like wow looks soooo much better. Liked and subbed as I want to learn luxcore as for a free renderer it's giving incredible results.

      Hmmm damn, I have a 3090 and 5900x and my render times are sloooooooooooooow with luxcore compared with cycles slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow. Going to deep dive with all your videos, thanks again mate

      Depends on the settings. Keep in mind that LuxCore is considered a lot more physically accurate so it will take longer especially when using light tracing since it is CPU bound.

    I love it. Thank you. MORE, MORE, MORE! So far, Luxcore has been the best Blender render engine. It is much faster, than the old ones and beautiful. Only issue is that there are very few tutorials.

      @@djtutorialscgi Thank you. I think, Luxcore is not a real popular renderer because Blender people think it is slow. Which is not true. Consequently there are just a very few tutorials and I haven't seen any from A to Z course. The few that exist are obsolete, old. So, you can fill up this parking lot with cars from any street :)

    I think we need more in depth info about the cache settings, since the documentation is kinda empty and it's hard to notice or figure out the optimal parameters for a given scene. The bidirectional engine is a whole other topic too, I found it indispensable for some volumetric caustic effects.
    After playing around with luxcore for a couple days I started to think it's worth it only for the caustics, and started looking for a way to "bake" them and add them to cycles renders just like you've done.

      Only caustics ?! Indoor scenes for example look much better and more photorealistic in Luxcore compared to Cycles. Almost everything in Luxcore looks way better than in Cycles..

      @@flonkplonk1649​​⁠totally agree, luxcore is even faster and cleaner then cycles with proper photon GI cache settings. The big problem is great amount of noise everywhere. But I found the workaround that helped me to greatly reduce the noise. Instead of using log or power light strategy put everything to uniform sampling then manually tweak the light importance for the lights that produce noise give more importance. Use clamping but don’t trust the suggested value. Usually values from 5 to 50 will work for most of the setups. You would be amazed how much cleaner and detailed render is after these tweaks. For noise that comes from light tracing and caustics there is no help, you need to let it clean for some time since its brute force method from bidirectional light tracing that works only on cpu.

    The Luxcore denoiser doesn't work that well. It is better to set the Render samples down to 512 and the noise threshold to 20, 64, 64 and then use the blender denoiser in compositing. The renderings then go quickly and cleanly.
