I’ve seen that, but am looking for something a) easier/simpler, and b)with a stronger contrast between individual lines, so it’s clear that it’s “brushed.” Is there a simple way to “stretch” a supplied texture (like noise, or something else)? Maybe I’ll use an image, but cannot find a good one curr...

So, for atmospheric volumes, I have to use always a volume connected to the camera, right?

Seems to be, but in truth I still can't properly figure it out. Volume workflow is still cause many questions(ex. What for camera volume is needed? How to work with different smoke volumes in one scene? ).

Thank you very much, DionXein! I´m studying your file, too.

Pay your attention to Camera's volume auto-detect. With premade volumes no need in Fog object. But in example from @kintuX Camera volume autodetects happens from Corridor exterior volume(because it have only inner normals direction).

Hey, Leandro. You can also check this file with simple homo- and heterogen volume.

There may be something in between to not encode the string in UTF-8.

Is there any way to fix it or help with it?

I solved the problem... The cause was russian username on my PC. Unfortunately, LuxCore didn't use Unicode. I don't know why, but maybe devs can explain details of it. Also textures and hdri's can't be loaded if path contains russian symbols. К сожалению LuxCore не использует юникод. Я не знаю поче...

They are called SDS paths (Specular-Diffuse-Specular) and they can be rendered only by using PhotonGI caustic cache. Normal BiDir can not render that kind of light path at all.

May I ask: In two words - why it's cannot be rendered even using BiDir?

I´m trying to make "fur" for a rug. In Cycles, it´s possible to use the material of the emitter, in the hair. I noted that this is possible in Lux, too, but hair keep rendering in black color. How can I fix it? Capturar.JPG Man, it's all onto bump. Also in Cycles usually used second material, like ...

As far as I remember, you have to set the mesh to smooth in order to not have the faces to "explode" across the sharp edges.

I did right like u said and get interesting result.

After UV reset everything is ok

Thank you.

You forgot to attach displacement texture.
