Photon map is slightly darker then path tracing. I think its the cause. When it switches to PT in corners they are brighter too. Must find why PT is so much lighter (recursion rays depth?) and all will work fine I guess.

OK. Two problems there. One is precomputed samples distance. Its too few of them and they are isolated. Another is too low recursion for correct GI solution. These two combined with more accurate (and more recursion depth, since it adds photon stage recurstion + corner trace recursion) causes differences.

I think I will add a warning about isolated precomputed solution (so its a lot easier to react to bad settings) and will think about balancing PT/PM recursion depths.

recursion depths is now 10 and this is optimum.
Less, render goes to raytracing feeling, more recurse, render looks too candy.

Still I can not clean corners, can you give me correct one lws?

I confirm: recurse 50-60 fix problem....and generate next: how to deal with that "candy land" after that such big amount of bounces colors?

I've added a improvement on this. There is no accurate solution since limiting recursion is not accurate physically, but it works quite well. Please test and close task if ok. I will send upadte in a minute.

Now is better:
- recurse only 20 (no need to go over 50)
- we can use higher GI resolution (before 50-100 mm)
- I raised up distance Path Passe to 100% (before 50% gives me bad effect)

Will test it tomorrow in normal scene.

Looks for me correct now with new settings for corners (more photons and more bounce light + your Core update)
