Last week I made a design for a class, and then decided it deserved a special render. So I created a scene to render it with Luxcore. I was able to make 2 renders, one general view and one macro view. The light tracing made very nice light effects on dark backgrounds, so I made a leather stand for the jewel. Also in the general view, the gemstones started looking very promising. A side goal while making this render was to test Luxcore 2.5 behaviour with 2 GPUS. I was very pleased to see a 100% usage of every GPU and also a 100% CPU usage. Result is that at 4K, rendering up to 3200 samples took 10 minutes.
I had no time to post it here, but did post on Blendernation. In the meanwhile, this work appeared in Blender week 43 https://www.blendernation.com/2020/10/2 ... 0-week-43/
It also made it into the Luxcore gallery https://luxcorerender.org/gallery/
and got featured https://blenderartists.org/t/pink-cocka ... asrohrbach
I was very surprised, given that I made this more for testing reasons.
