yes it is actually brighter, it is a direct result of quantum physics

is this quantum electrodynamics? where it's like the path is predicted and the most likely one usually ones? and so having all three lenses is a more probable path than two alone?

a polarizing filter only lets through light thats oscilating in one direction. so if you put two filters on top of each other with a 45 degree angle nothing gets through cause the lower filter blocks out all the light that would be able to pass the top filter. obviously if you put one at half that angle instead youll have some llight left. if you put on a third filter at that same lower angle, youll get less light but it there will still be light passing through.
light is weird. its both a wave and a particle at the same time and also totally NOT fun to learn about

concept to learn is awesome but i assume the maths sucks

the feynman lectures where he describes it is aj interesting read

nah cycles can't do dispersion, you can fake it, I think its because it doesn't have a bi-directional solver. but that is luxrender from a while ago. what makes it work is having a scattering volume everywhere, ya can't generally see light travelling through air lol

Hmmm, I should look into luxrender because cycles is a real poo poo to deal with.

hmm lol cycles rules. luxrender is pretty much dead, cant remember last time they did anything with it. they put all their effort into this minilux which is kinda cool because its so small and efficient, but there are about 8 different path tracers to choose but only the CPU driven bidirectional one is fully featured and its so slow compared to cycles and the GPU path tracers just produce worse results despite apparently using same algorithims

geneuinly curious why you dont like cycles? there was a reason I moved from luxrender to cycles for sure

killing in the name of rules

my opinion is that the first ratm album is one of the most solid albums there is. every track rules and zack actually sings in some kind of rhythm

plus somehow the sound quality on the album is absolutely top notch

evil empire has some great tracks too. cool riffs

Ehhh I'm finding it super slow, even with GPU acceleration. I'm probably just not used to optimizing it.

non-biased renderers are always going to be slow though, compared to ray tracers or scanline renderers

tip for gpu rendering is to make the tile size as big as possible. my 2gb card could deal with 128x128 but the bigger the better. whereas with cpu rendering smaller is better. this is under the performance tab

ya cant really optimise cycles too much. under the sampling tab, i use squared samples and the highest I ever go for high quality stills is 50 which is 2500 samples per pixel, and usually use no more than 20 which is 400 samples for doing animations.

tbh cycles produces some pretty clean results compared to other path tracers ive used
