But like Google student summer thing, viable only if someone want to spend time on it (I don't).

Running Linux Mint 19.1 and had to roll some stuff back to the supported kernel and drivers, but in doing so I lost something and now when I try to render in Lux I get a clBuildProgram error and a never ending string of warnings in the terminal. Any idea of what I nuked? Some libopencl or something...

BiDir doesn't use DLSC at all (mostly because a significative amount of path are traced from the light source, not the camera).

But it is one thing that it is weak lightsource that doesn't contribute to scene much and it is something different if that lightsource, or multiple of them are taking away stronger photons from stronger lightsource. Your test doesn't look too clean too. try copy the weak light source couple of tim...

I still have the feeling there something fishy: I'm pretty sure to have got different results out of the same test. Anyway, for some unknown reason, the code of "POWER" light strategy was ignoring light source power when emitting particles out of light sources. It was used in all other cas...

Maya installs Python with your Maya installation. Maya uses Python version 2.7.11 on all supported platforms. The standalone Python shell for Maya is named mayapy.exe on Windows and mayapy on Linux and Mac OS X. Maya still uses Python 2.7.11. Is pyluxcore buildable against Python 2? I have done it ...

:geek: anyone else interested in contributing with an implementation for maya? 8-) I'm afraid, it is a chicken and egg problem: you need to have something to show to attract interest of Maya users but, at the same time, you need Maya users interest to motivate someone to develop a LuxCoreRender int...
