First up, thanks for sharing this great library. One issue though the nature.hdr probe is missing due to which the TestPaniq scene displays a black screen. If possible do share the nature.hdr file that you used or atleast share the URL or the name of the hdr file used so that the results may be replicated.
The hdr file I used is phalzer_forest_01_4k.hdr from polyhaven which gives similar results as shown below.

Thanks,

I was trying to create a reflective material with roughness set to 0.01 and specular 0.5 and a red base color but it turns out to be very noisy and dark when compared to Blender Cycles. All other material parameters were set to 0. I do not have lights in the scene, only the sky.

Example:
Cycles:

Tinsel:

Seems to be working good for higher roughness though:
Cycles: roughness 1.0

Tinsel: roughness 1.0

Am I missing something really obvious here?

I notice that volume rendering is in the todo list. Is there any progress in this area for adding volumetric path tracing (delta/ratio/residual/spectral/spectralMIS/integral form). Will it be a good idea to work on this?
