Hi everyone

This is a general question about PMC. What types of scenes require the exploration strength to be set to 1. Also why do scenes go darker when I try this myself.

Thanks

I too would like to know the answer for this question....
Anyone have it??

Me three.

For what I understood, PMC in the first samples acts like Pathtracing, afterwords it sees which were the paths that gave more contribution to the brighness in the pixels and searches similar paths, of course during this process it must still search for more paths so it needs to make random sampling too, so Exploration strenght is the weight between totally random samples and samples that were calculated through paths chosen by the algorithm that have more contribution to the scene...
