Re: LuxCoreRender Caustics + Cycles

Short version: you need to use a v2.3 automatic build and to enable caustic cache too.

When official v2.3 will be out?

Thanks for the tips! :)

Re: LuxCore questions

Well, everything is possible but LuxRender/LuxCoreRender is one of the oldest render engine project, it is probably second only to POV-Ray. Blender is older but Blender internal is dead and Cycles is a kid compared LuxRender age. Have Lux developers tried to collaborate with other renderengine code...

Re: LuxCore questions

Maybe stupid question but, how can we make LuxCoreRender more popular with cycles users? It is an uphill battle: Cycles is included in Blender, LuxCore is not. Every single Blender user will first learn Cycles than, if he/she is unhappy will start to look around and, may be, decide to put the effor...

Re: Render passes/AOVs

I really do prefer this approach ( being the most accurate possible / and as fast as possible by using caching tech or other stuff to accelerate processing). I'm not a great fan of hyper cheating and heavy post-prod / compositing. But that is it everyone have different mean and needs. interresting ...

Re: Render passes/AOVs

2) Why Bidir engine only supports a few AOVs and will it support in the future all render passes? BiDir uses both eye paths and light paths at the same time. So, while Path uses a single image buffer, BiDir uses 2 with different buffers and normalization strategies (one for eye path samples and one...
