Dark poly spot

Post by Sharlybg »

I struggling with a dark poly spot in my model in both blendluxcore 2.4 / 2.5 on CPU / GPU not in Cycles:

Exporting the scene to file system and rendering with LuxCoreUI works fine. The problem is visible only inside Blender.

Try to isolate the polygon with the problem and erase everything else.

Another user is runing in the same issue : viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2584&p=25383#p25383

here is the mesh with isolated wrong surfaces :

This is a .ply file directly exported from Blender without the use of any LuxCore related code. It is a Blender bug as far as I can see.

You can report the problem to Blender developers by providing this file a telling them to export in .ply format and check the UV coordinates (aka ST coordinates).
However they may be not able to track the problem from there because the NaN may be the result of the process used to build the mesh (so they may be unable to track what tool is broken and has generated the NaN).

Answer from brecht :

This is correct. This bug report requires steps to get a mesh into a state where UVs are NaN, otherwise we can't investigate it.

Not a Number.
It is usually the result of an invalid computation, e.g. division by zero.
