Quote - This update does not improve the Indirect Light artifacts I've been getting in many scenes.  Renders also still have garbage around the border of the image, not related to Indirect Light.  Should I make a ticket on the support page?

Please.

We have an SR1 targetted collection of rendering improvements with changes to the logic that will better address the artifacts you're seeing as well as IDL improvements.

Today's Hotfix deals primarily with an IDL rendering issue related to eyelashes and transmapped hair. Stefan has already optimized the IDL rendering logic, and will be further improving in prep for the SR1 release. I don't have a formal schedule, but if the Hotfix could serve as an indication - we'll be rolling out our improvements quickly.

Cheers,

Cooper
