ambient light now uses a list, to prevent a stack overflow error. Up to 1 million bounces, 1024 samples.

turned off energy conservation

modified the default skybox to not emit light, there appears to be a severe lack of reflective light

Extinction chance 0%

more reflection bounces, not much changed

Thu, Dec 11, 2025 @ 8:04 am

128 max samples, 1000 max bounces

Thu, Dec 11, 2025 @ 7:59 am

64 samples, 1% extinction chance, 2 max GI bounces- for testing only. translucency fixed

64 max samples for a quick test. Translucent objects not working correctly but everything else is it appears.

Fixed specular reflections and improved a lot of issues. This is the monte carlo RT result with no photon mapping, max 64 samples, 2 GI bounces. With photon mapping, the caustics now show.

Modified scene from p12. Plane in middle is supposed to be reflective, so it appears reflections and refractions arent working
