In unbiased rendering a window (hole in the wall) works like a light portal, am I right? Adding extra light portal would be like adding additional data which could even make the rendering longer?

It would allow better importance sampling of the environment map (for direct lighting/shadow rays). And it works the same in biased and unbiased.

Have you increased light sampling multiplier and PT samples in case of using environment?

Implemented as an OPTIONAL way to speed up rendering. Still need some work though

I have so far only tested positive Portals.
Cache calculated longer, but eventually for the same time, the result is much cleaner noise.
I'm testing on.
sorry for my english

Just tested skyportals in a small windows configuration. Both images have 20 passes and the image with portals is much cleaner with few seconds more of calculations.

I feel a bit stupid right now but... how/where the hell do I activate the light portals O_o ? (latest daily build of course)
Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature.
