Yet another quick question...as I am very new to Octane.
I know that PMC is full GPU-centric. But what about Path Tracing and Direct Light Modes?

They all run entirely in gpu.
PMC and pathtracing will eventually produce the same render result.
Directlighting is similar but the light paths are not evaluated to the same extent.

pmc = p_athtracing with m_onte c_arlo ray distribution; so pretty much the same, but faster converging noise in many (though not all) situations...treddie wrote:I thought that Path Tracing suffered in that it could not render caustics as accurately?
