Nice job there! I find that it doesn't match the Octane version in terms of
quality (not your fault):
a) It looks floaty. That's just the problem with FG. You'd need insane
settings to get the flawless contact shadows of an unbiased renderer.
People like to combat that by using ambient occlusion,
I used Mitchell filtering, I like the sharpness. But it could be that's
causing some problems with the high contrast areas in this render.

When using high AA samples (which is necessary for DOF or motion blur) I
believe you can pretty much keep diffuse samples down to 1 or 2. You have
to oversample a lot for the DOF, and this AA oversampling takes care of
diffuse areas as well. Also, for this scene with the large windows you may

The formula
[Inline image 1]
is valid for instaneous velocity and speed, but not average velocity and speed
