Wonder if irradiance mapping is still something to expect, or has it been abandoned?

There is no future for irradiance caching IMHO, with denoising, improved sampling, advanced BRDFs, faster CPUs, focus on interactive rendering, etc.

I googled before replying this thread, didn't able to find any news about dispersion, but dispersion thread shows up as a resolved request.
So I was wondering is it solved/added?

Lots of great features I would like, however, I wish the reflection and refraction of Matte elements were doing a bit better!

+1, proper Matte elements is a really important feature, way more than dispersion imho. I don't know why it's not a priority.

its simply because every features is important. and every users has their own perspective, this user need feature A more than B,C,D & that user need feature B, more than A,C,D. that's why ondra create this "most wanted feature" polling to help his decision making and prevent unimportant debates. feature which got higher vote number deserve higher priority.
imho no need to say why this/that feature is more important than the others.

you are absolutely right ! In that case, it's more a bug than a feature, mattes simply don't work as they should. They need to manage reflection and refraction, especially when the realease is VFX oriented. Indeed, that's my opinion :)

Add new feature is great, but they have to work as they should. I reacted on this one because it is one of the basics and it has to be done in priority imho. I understand that devs are not super heros and have to make choices. In fact, there is a load of things that bother me and that I don't talk because I know it's not the right time. Just sayin'

Maybe Fluss is right, masks don't work in their current state so perhaps it should be considered a bug and not a feature request. I can complete my work properly without caustics but without mattes I need hacks.
