LuxCoreRender Forums

Ok, so the biggest problem in the scene that was being compared was tonemapper turned off. I don't know what it does to rendering when it is turned off but I don't think it is a good idea and you should probably use it to get proper exposure before you render final image. Here is the setup: Screensh...

I can't look at it right now, but tomorrow or after weekend. I suspect default power of luxcore flatcolor is too weak (it definitely is compared to sky for example)

so decided to make a real comparison between corona and luxcore GI. some little details are different but main materials are almost equal. i used only environment flat color in both engines. however to make the window light pixel color identical i needed to set the gain of luxcore environment to 4....

good stuff, but I see on azure another build already started:
"PhotonGI can now render black rooms"
what is that?

I would be surprised if 2.3 with some material changes wouldn't break compatibility. And it should, to establish some new grounds for broad userbase.

Can you make something like an experiment... hardcode all values and see if and when people actually have issues with this? Maybe expose one single parameter: "precission multiplier" that could multiply numbers + lower lookup? For me after all this time it is super easy to use this cache, ...

Also i think we don't have to hide too much things from users. There are things that only teaching can help the best way. This can start by nice tooltip. But you still need to keep in mind users trying luxcore will come mostly from other renderers with some established general use. So while new to ...

Last time I wanted to use metropolis on gpu I had some issues with it being super slow with and this is the response I got Metropolis on GPUs is "problematic": there is a sampler for each rendering thread, the problem is that, for instance, you have 12 threads on a 6 core+hyper-threading C...

So again, to make sure I re-downloaded both addon and latest linux daily and ran few example tests with... no-cache: nocache.jpg cache: cache.jpg no-cache - different hdri: nocache2.jpg cache - different hdri: cache2.jpg no-cache benchmark scene + hdri: nocache4.jpg cache benchmark scene + hdri: cac...

Well.. So I couldn't wait and downloaded just now... And it seems it is just as it was, nothing changed (tried linux opencl version) /tried 2 different hdri's and while sun and sky give 1:1 result against Pathtracing HDRI still has a massive difference. cache unclamped render: cache_unclamped.jpg no...
