NOTE: The software in this forum is not %100 reliable, they are development builds and are meant for testing by experienced octane users. If you are a new octane user, we recommend to use the current stable release from the 'Commercial Product News & Releases' forum.
about 5 months ago someone around the forums posted some link to a youtube vid of a demo of unbiased rendering that can 'focus' on cleaning up fireflies - I have no doubt that the octane team are working to implement it. The video described the methods they were using to speed it up, it was a new tech.
it was the video that had the outdoor garden and chairs in the courtyard - there was an in video explanation for how they were sampling so that the fireflies could be cleaned up much faster - at the time someone pointed out that it was supposed to be a more advanced stage than octanes PMC at that time.
