I added a pointer node which allows to include any material or texture node tree as a node. This is useful to avoid node tree duplication: E.g. if you have a complex texture setup, you don't have to copy it if you want to use it in several different material node trees. It's a bit like instancing. I...

Ok, added a note about it to the tooltips of the glass node and deactivate the dispersion socket if rough or arch glass is chosen.

I implemented support for the new cauchyc parameter in BlendLuxCore.

Do you plan to also add this feature to roughglass?
(just asking because if not I'll deactivate the dispersion socket if the glass node is set to "rough")

When I search for "VS" on my Windows I find "VS2013 x64 Native Tools Command Prompt". The shortcut points to "%comspec% /k ""F:\Users\Simon_2\ProgrammeHDD\VisualStudio\VC\vcvarsall.bat"" amd64". I have installed "Microsoft Visual Studio Communit...

Dispersion should now work properly, even with textured IOR, by using an add texture in the background to do the RGB spread.

Uh, I never tried with TILEPATH, strange, going to check ... it doesn't seems to happen here (it may be a different problem, not related to dispersion), can you post how reproduce the problem. Yes, seems like it is not related, I created an issue here: https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/LuxCore/issue...

I have been trying to get a grip on the code but it has been difficult. Yes, this is not a beginner project. As a newcomer you will stumble about advanced Python and programming concepts here and there. I appreciate that you try to learn everything by yourself, but please don't hesitate to ask ques...

Moved from BlendLuxCore development thread. Once I manage to get this compiled, I should have 2 sets of files - a Blender addon, and a rendering engine right? Is the addon standalone (eg use Blender's "install from file"), or do I overwrite part of my existing LuxBlend installation, or so...

This is pretty cool. It's not even much slower than without dispersion, both attached images were rendered for 16 minutes. Volumes/Glass IORs can now accept 3 values instead of 1 (red IOR, green IOR, blue IOR). How should we expose this in exporters? Should we allow the user to set 3 separate values...

The rendering speed will be about the same, as far as I know there were only small speed improvements in LuxCore code since I rendered the old scene.
