This is on the features chart: K3 shader system, Post Process, VPR, etc. Lightwave support is just "by the way" event.

SDK of new Lightwave will not change for many years. For sure. LW2018 has major changes after many years "doing nothing" by Newtek. New SDK for new Lightwave was necessary to change to upgrade old features in Core (like new shader system, new lights, etc) Do not be worry about LW2019+ and ...

This engine Denoiser has no support for animation (backward frame sample information) but G. wants to add other denoiser engines.

Test with new denoiser.
Only 10 Rays in QMC!
200 frames, 1280 pix, 1 frame/60 sec.



Raw:

Generally is missing one part left: Skyportals.
G. promised add them soon to Lightmap.
Then...Noise will disappear. Now simply is impossible and to reduce noise, we have to raise up amount of rays instead which means longer render...

This is just very poor settings for displacement. Only one step and low resolution sampling....test.

Actually this scene is tough....also for V-ray. Please notice mirrors (dark). If I remember correctly V-ray took it twice longer.
Actually I put something wrong in settings.

Old scene with new Kray. First time possible to use displacement (brick wall) in normal scene (I think G. fixed hot photons).
Tone mapping: only Tanh.
Light: Physky without Sun + LEM in windows.

To make same quality time will be around 300-600%. But this is pure 40 PT bounce lights!

...except horrible time render. But is not that bad...if you used 40 bounce lights that`s the World Record.

Yes it is PM but it looks like Path Tracing

Override images shows that K3 is KING with quality - almost impossible recognize is Photon Mapping or Path Tracing. G. soon will add LightPortals for Lightmap system so this noise which is produced by background light sources will disappear or will be less visible. Design is grayish so we can do not...

It looks great. Zero errors perfectly match the shadow and color. No way to get errors in TI. Blending is 10 frames spread (also Photon Mapping before sampling QMC is blended) Time Interpolation is ONLY one way to render fast high quality frames without any errors with moving objects or lights, exc...

I have the same with SUN for Exteriors (for EXT I turn it off)

I sent to G. information mail what we can do with this: optimizations, reduction or other cases (not yet bug tracker)

This is direct IES reflection.
I have to ask G. what we do with this.
Is correct effect but it should be in my opinion a bit weaker or more blurred.
