Metropolis light transport

[mohammadreza_mohseni]

does chaos group plan to implant separate Metropolis light transport method any time soon maybe in vray 4 or any other gi methods?
I have notice Bidirectional path-tracing helper have been around for quite some time now is there any plan to improve its speed and added to main ui?
I was just study some university articles and got curious.

thank chaos group for already amazing vray

We don't have plans to implement bidirectional path tracing for the moment.

We might get back to the bidirectional tracer at some point, but it's not a very high priority.

You can take a look at a talk at Siggraph 2015 by someone at Weta digital where he explained how they tried all the modern raytracing techniques for their Manuka renderer before realizing that regular path tracing is the best way to go.
