Luxcore 2.4 ?

Post by zooropa »

Hi, Is it possible to use 2.4? What at the main differences? I am running on a laptop with an rtx card I was wondering if 2.4 will use optix maybe and I can make use of it?
Thank you

There was no alpha release of v2.4 yet, but you can already test builds created from the latest commits.
Check the BlendLuxCore github page, release section.
About the changes implemented so far, there is a changelog text file in the LuxCore repository. Apart from that, you can look at the commits pushed to the LuxCore and BlendLuxCore repositories on github and read the commit messages to get an idea.

Thank you all of you! Super fast response. I think I will need to start following tutorials.
I was planning to do kind of a museum interior for a bench I designed and looks really bad so far.
I am super aware it is me hahaha cause your scenes like Danish mood are amazing.

I also love the material nodes. I just need to read a little bit and follow how to make archviz scenes.
I am kind of new with that since I am usually using products in my work.

Thank you! I will start to follow tutorials today regarding archviz and lux and hopefully I can start to feel more comfortable with the render.
