Hello,

yesterday I just found this awesome render engine and liked LuxCore instantly :)
Here is one of my first renders.
McLaren MP4/5b F1 car from 1990 diven by Ayrton Senna.

Hope there will be a denoiser and support for auto smooth soon.

Both features are available in the latest beta versions of the upcoming version 2.1 - see the news section for download links.

Great rendering, I have still dreams of a Senna's Montecarlo pole position :D

Nice render. This F1 is just so beautifull. I really like the 90's F1 design

Thank you Sharlybg and Dade :)
Here is a new render.

@B.Y.O.B. This time I used v2.1, but Autosmooth is still not working :( So I added extra loops to the mesh.
Furthermore Denoiser works great on bright areas, but on dark areas it's just blurry, see second attachment especially on Tyrewalls. I used 1000 samples.
And one last thing, I don't know maybe it' NVIDIAs fault, first time i tried OpenCL, everything was fast and right, then I tweaked my glass shader a bit and after that I got wrong and glossy results every time... I tried to clead AppData cache, reboot my PC and the Issue is the same... See third attachment.

But all in all I love this engine! :)

Can you post a test scene that shows the problem?
Maybe we misunderstand each other? I'm talking about the setting in the mesh properties:

No, we are talking about the same ;)
Here is a test scene.

This mesh contains custom split normals data, this is indeed not yet supported by the BlendLuxCore addon.
You can disable auto smooth and add an edge split modifier instead as a workaround.

Or a few extra loop as I already did.
Anyway thanks for checking and a happy new year! :)
