Maybe leave this for RC2?

That would be my vote. We're already up to what, RC1.0.5?

Update: this issue has something todo when using volumeintegrator multi vs. single.
One get`s exorbitant high effeciency but the render does not look as expected progresswise, needs more investigation.

Jens, do you have a test scene to check the problem ?

Just do a volumetric render with mult vs. single setting, dunno if this is really a bug or just a statscount issue.
Anyway, i'll pm you a testscene.

I think what you are observing is not related to hybrid rendering: try to switch from "single" to "multi" with normal BiDir, the efficiency will increase by 10x factor. Both normal and hybrid show the same behaviour (i.e. normal reaches a 10.000% and hybrid a 20.000%) .

Efficiency is just the total count of contributions / count of samples. BiDir produces always a lot of contributions for each samples but I'm not exactly sure why "multi" bump so much the number

Hi,

SSS materials also need higher path depths. For the hybrid version it might be advisable to do RR rejection of path connections.

Question for Dade, does rev 3670/a22d6a69f0c2 implement this, or does it just make hybrid bidir's RR behavior adjustable like regular bidir?

This one.

Really nice work!
I start now testing all the new features of the RC.

Waiting for the Stable release!

This is something that bothers me in Luxrender - the round blob specular highlights - can this be fixed?

This looks like negative energy.
Gaussian filter is negative energy free.

Not sure why mitchell filter is still in LuxRender.
