LuxCoreRender Forums

Hi, I've rendered a scene using LuxCore and Cycles, and although I like LuxCore's shaders, lighting and shadows better, to me Cycles wins in the SSS area. I used Random Walk SSS in Cycles, which is the same algorithm as LuxCore uses, unless I'm mistaking. LuxCoreRender version: Happy Halloween by Me...

Thanks for sharing. Interesting!

No no no, I strongly disagree with you!
Using Filmic for Luxcore is like watching a color movie on a black and white TV.

Interesting. Like Sharlybg, I would also like to read your explanation for that.

What a joy it was to discover Luxcore!

Definitely! I'm also a fan.

Thanks for the clarification, useful info!

Someone just pointed out to me that in LuxCore you're also expected to turn off Blender Color Management and activate it in the LuxCore camera. :D Didn't know that yet. Not really, you can use Blender's color management and the LuxCore imagepipeline together. Thanks. Good to know that. It's what I ...

Good points, I largely agree. I regard Luxcore as the Rolls Royce of Blender renderers: it's not the fastest car, but it is the most polished, attractive car for rendering connaisseurs. If I may direct the devs to an area that would benefit a lot from improvement: LuxcoreRender SSS is great, but dif...

There is also the Discord, with about a similar number of people who are very active. (Driven also by a very lively off-topic chat going on there)

Yeah, I'm planning to spend more time there as well.

It'd be great if LuxcoreRender gets more recognized among 3D users. It is a truly great renderer, ahead of Cycles in multiple areas.

Once Luxcore gets more user attention, more donations and interested developers will follow.
