When i change from one to another i realy can't see any diference in the render. Is something I am doing wrong?
(i just delete the direclight node and plug the pathtrace in it's place)

Thanks

-EDIT: in fact even if I dont plug any of the 2 kernels the results are still the same

Hi,

Just click on the preview rendertarget and swap the directlighting node to pathtracing in the node inspector (eg window on the right).
No need to connect/disconnect...

Radiance

But what is the different between directlight and Patchtracing??

With direct lighting you don't have indirect illumination but you can have ambient occlusion and manage the distance of that fx, so very cool to have a quick result but not as realistic as with pathtracing.
