Neon22,
You are getting some nice fast renders. SSS does not work with SPPM or Bidirectional. Maybe SSS will be added to them in YafaRay in the future??? I haven't played with SPPM yet. Maybe you need to tweak something to get the caustics better for SPPM??? SPPM appears to give very good results with meshlights.
What are the specs on your PC?
povmaniac,
When I tried your suggested optimizations for the metal ring caustics reducing the number of photons did not give as good quality cardioid caustics. I had to use at least 20,000,000 and 90,000,000 made them better. The other changes did not seem to make a big difference....
Your last changes to the UI look good.
