Is this effect normal? - LC issue

... since RC2 I see this bucket effect at the LC pass. I don't see a bad influence at the final image, but I'm curious to know why it looks different from previous versions.

I've noticed the same thing on my machine... I'm also curious.

that's the adaptive part of the lightcache, it takes more samples in more important areas.

Thanks. I see now, there is a new parameter at the LC options. Interesting.

So we can keep all infos about this kind of trees together.

Yeah the adaptive option has been around for a while but wasn't in the options. We used to turn it off right before we rendered, so I suppose in older saved scenes its actually saved out as being on by default. Sorry about that It's immediately recognizable though, so if you see that effect just check your LC options and turn "Adaptive" off.
