Support is in.
It seems that the "Difference Key" node can create good anti-aliased masks from this new AOV.

Great, I'll add the support to the Blender addon.

It looks like all the .blend files don't preserve or generate the node information for Lux when they're loaded and show a bunch of missing material and node warnings so will need to dig into that. Current hypothesis is it has to do with what OS the blend files were made in because if I save it ever...

Maybe you are missing PySide?

Anyway, BlendLuxCore works without pyluxcoretools as well, they are only needed for network rendering.

Also, the hair is no longer defined as an instanced mesh. This means that rendering is faster. However, the accelerator will use more memory if the mesh is not instanced. In the test above, the whole Blender process used 1.1 GiB with hair as instance and 1.7 GiB with non-instanced hair. So the extr...

I'm finally done.

Clone BlendLuxCore repo, then run get_binaries.py.
See the readme here for more information:

After that, you can copy or symlink the BlendLuxCore repo to your Blender addons directory (or zip it and install via user preferences).

Different root and tip colors, baked into vertex colors (they are multipliers and interpolated over the length of each hair).

Yes.

Everything I mentioned so far is implemented now, I'm currently trying to add one last feature that could be useful.
