Bidirvm

[Sharlybg]

hi guys just want to know how i can enable back Bidirvm engine in Luxcore ?

Just remenber that in the past there was earlier support and dev for that. just currently doing test to compare thing and render mode in different scenario cases. I need bidirvm to be include in my test.

You can change the renderengine.type here: https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/BlendL ... fig.py#L52
You might want to also set some of the other properties of bidirvm: https://wiki.luxcorerender.org/LuxCore_ ... ng_engines

Make thoses change :

Code: Select all

        # Common properties that should be set regardless of engine configuration.
        definitions.update({
            "renderengine.type": BIDIRVMCPU,#luxcore_engine,
            "sampler.type": sampler,
            "film.width": width,
            "film.height": height,
            "film.filter.type": filter_type,
            "film.filter.width": config.filter_width,
            "lightstrategy.type": light_strategy,
            "scene.epsilon.min": config.min_epsilon,
            "scene.epsilon.max": config.max_epsilon,
        })

and got :

Try putting "BIDIRVMCPU" in quotation marks. Otherwise Python will interpret it as a variable.

Please it still doesn't work can you modify and show me code example i can copy. Here is modification :

Code: Select all

# Common properties that should be set regardless of engine configuration.
        definitions.update({
            "BIDIRVMCPU": Bidirvcm,
            "renderengine.type": luxcore_engine, 
            "sampler.type": sampler,
            "film.width": width,
            "film.height": height,
            "film.filter.type": filter_type,
            "film.filter.width": config.filter_width,
            "lightstrategy.type": light_strategy,
            "scene.epsilon.min": config.min_epsilon,
            "scene.epsilon.max": config.max_epsilon,
        })

This one throw error .

        definitions.update({
            "renderengine.type": "BIDIRVMCPU",#luxcore_engine,
            "sampler.type": sampler,
            "film.width": width,
            "film.height": height,
            "film.filter.type": filter_type,
            "film.filter.width": config.filter_width,
            "lightstrategy.type": light_strategy,
            "scene.epsilon.min": config.min_epsilon,
            "scene.epsilon.max": config.max_epsilon,
        })

I meant like so, although I'm currently trying it and get another error. Try it yourself in your setup, though...

Edit: It does seems to work, but I don't have a test scene at hand to spot differences.

This way can't get Luxcore available in render engine selection slot anymore.

Did you copy/paste the code from here in the forum into the code file? Make sure that you keep the indentation (i.e. white spaces at the beginning of each line), didn't forget the comma between "BIDIRVMCPU" and the hash-symbol, or the brackets at the end.

here is how it looks in a text editor

Code: Select all

# Common properties that should be set regardless of engine configuration.
        definitions.update({            
            "renderengine.type": "BIDIRVMCPU",#luxcore_engine, 
            "sampler.type": sampler,
            "film.width": width,
            "film.height": height,
            "film.filter.type": filter_type,
            "film.filter.width": config.filter_width,
            "lightstrategy.type": light_strategy,
            "scene.epsilon.min": config.min_epsilon,
            "scene.epsilon.max": config.max_epsilon,
        })

Thanks a lot it is working Now !
