Zelensky is in Ankara for talks with ErdoฤŸan, as a high-level Pentagon delegation arrives in Kyiv. Defense Minister Umerov was among those that welcomed him, quietly dismissing recent false rumors that he had told Zelensky he wouldnโ€™t return to Ukraine.


As expected, Russia launched over 470 drones and 48 missiles overnight in one of its largest attacks to date. In Ternopil, strikes on residential buildings killed at least 9 and injured dozens. Fires broke out, and chlorine levels in the air are dangerously high. Strikes also hit Kharkiv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, Kyiv, and other regions, with children among the wounded.


In Lviv region, an energy facility was damaged by a Russian strike. A woodworking plant and a warehouse were also hit, with large fires still burning, particularly at a civilian tire storage site on the cityโ€™s outskirts. Emergency crews are struggling to contain the blaze due to the complex materials involved.

Just for fun: here's p=0.99 and p=1.0. The last image clearly shows why you can't use direct light sampling alone and need to combine it with something else (uniform/brdf sampling/etc) via MIS or NEE:
in reply to Nikita Lisitsa

@Nikita Lisitsa Both are definitely moods, but they are a good demonstration of the difference between p=0.99 and p=1 even in other fields where statistics are involved. It isn't linear from p=0 to p=1.
Questa voce รจ stata modificata (2 mesi fa)


Fixed the MIS implementation, now it converges to the same image as basic uniform direction sampling. Time for tests: 4 renders with different values of light sampling probability. p=0.25 seems to be the best, and reduces noise severely:
in reply to Nikita Lisitsa

@Nikita Lisitsa I note two things:
- Increased probability increase render time.
- Extreme values (0 and 0.75) look similar, while 0.25 has a very distinct feeling.

If you go for smoothness, p=0.25 is the best, and has much better performance than higher p values. If you go for roughness, p=0 would be the best as p=0.75 seems to be costly for a similar effect.

What does p=1 do?
