This adds a new option "Sample All Lights" to the Sampling panel in Cycles (Branched Path). When enabled, Cycles will sample all the lights in the scene for the indirect samples, instead of randomly picking one. This is already happening for direct samples, now you can optionally enable it for indirect. Example file and renders: Blend file: http://www.pasteall.org/blend/27411 Random: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=68033 All: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=68034 Sampling all lights is a bit slower, but there is less variance, so it should help in situations with many lights. Patch by myself with some tweaks by Brecht. Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D391
