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.

The new addon now has enough features to replicate my wallpaper scene.
Here's a quick render (7min Bidir on my laptop):

We should release a bit more often :roll: Yes. Like I said here : One other thought: Maybe it would be good to publish releases more often, but keep the development non-accessible in between (at least for users who don't compile). What I mean is that we don't publish daily builds etc. because it cr...

Is there any difference between the workaround and a normal fix by blender foundation ? Yes, a huge difference. The workaround is not a fix. For example, it only allows one material per object. And viewport material updates do not work with this workaround. It is not here to stay, just to bridge th...

I now added a workaround to the Blender bug: https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/BlendLuxCore/issues/12 However it's very hacky. Basically I create a second pointer: object -> material_node_tree because the pointer material -> material_node_tree is not saved. This will hopefully make testing more pleas...

Note, the source of the problem is also in using a such small size for the tiles (i.e. 8x8). It has only drawback and no advantages. 32x23 would be a more appropriate size for the rendering. You know how it is, as a programmer you always test the boundaries first :D I'll raise the soft_min in Blend...

Basic volume export.

Spooky.

After 2 days of fucking around with OpenGL in Blender and cursing a lot, the color management now works in the viewport. Don't mind that the image is upside down. That's a slight drawback we have to live with :P https://youtu.be/HJTdc983JNU So, we can finally say goodbye to weird hacks like if conte...
