Re: LuxCoreRender v2.5beta1

I think the LuxCore devs are allowed to take a holiday break without people freaking out too much ;) Here are the commit history for LuxCore and BlendLuxCore if your worried about there not being any activity (that being months, not days): https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/LuxCore/commits/master http...

Re: Transparent Film and glass material

Indeed, I really miss the " transparent glass" option in Cycles. Though using that option you won't get any distorted refraction, it's pretty useful for rendering image assets for 2D designers. If you check the 'architectural' option for glass as Leandro mentioned, you do get a non-distor...

Re: NVIDIA DLSS in 3D rendering

The result will never be identical to a really rendered result. Unless you have already trained the NN with the real outcome. From what I have read about this topic, the above statement is exactly the dealbreaker, and the reason why nvidia doesn't offer a general DLSS-API: All games featuring it ha...

Re: CUDA Kernels

Are you using a utility that clears out your temporary files on Windows (CCleaner etc...?)

%temp%\luxcorerender.org\ocl_kernel_cache contains the OpenCL kernel, if that gets wiped it needs to recompile it.

Re: Darkness in transparent surface ?

Not sure if you've tried already, but does the caustic cache yield any decent results? If the camera is the only thing moving, then it wouldn't need to be recalculated between frames.

Re: Lux it! RenderFarm (analogue of Sheepit for Luxcore)

You have no idea how much you are speaking to me right now! I have ~8million points on SheepIt, but almost always render everything I do with LuxCore on my own PC. One of the hardest areas is the variation of GPU rendering drivers, SheepIt sets its own settings based on the host client. OpenCL/CUDA,...

Re: Colored Wine Bottle Glass - cant get physically correct

Had a look by taking a photo of a white wall at my place, it looks a lot closer to a 4000k lamp then 2700k (the photo). If the lamp is indeed 2700k, what white point was your camera using? You will also need to match the cameras settings as well as the lighting settings. I noticed there is no ambien...

Re: Trouble with glass reflections

Nota solution to the noise, but have you tried using OIDN via the compositor instead? I can't find it at the moment, but I remember a video that denoised the passes individually and combined them, and it did work better for something I rendered.

Re: The Firefly Question

Hi Theo, Basically what your trying to render is called a Specular-Diffuse-Specular (SDS) path. This can't be rendered properly by light tracing or bidirectional (although might tracing may be useful for other areas of a scene). If the lamp has an intersectable area some do get rendered, but that is...
