Intel software engineers have released version 0.7 of Open PGL, their open-source Path Guiding Library (PGL) that can be used by 3D renderers to enjoy state-of-the-art path guiding methods for better sampling quality and efficiency.
Open PGL is part of Intel's oneAPI Rendering Toolkit and can allow for some very nice results while being Apache 2.0 licensed and delivering great visual quality and performance: Open PGL 0.7 delivers new experimental features of Radiance Caching (RC), Guided/Adjoint-driven Russian Roulette (GRR), and Image-space guiding buffer (ISGB).
