LuxCoreRender Forums

Thanks B.Y.O.B for chiming in! This is absolutely not off-topic, because my main issues are about GPU final rendering with CUDA and Optix, not GPU viewport.

And this happens with 1920*817 on a GPU with 12GB of VRAM, so I don't think it's only a big resolution problem. I'll turn on the tiled rendering, see if it helps.

Ah, I have misinterpreted your first post.

BlendLuxCore always updates the whole film, even when tiled rendering is used.
This is because we don't get a message each time LuxCore is done with a tile, so we can not react to that on a per-tile basis.
This means if the slowness of the full-film update is the issue, using the tiled render engine in LuxCore will not help.

Yesterday I worked at Luxcore and I understood why the viewport slows down when pre-rendering.
It's all about the lighting. If you leave 1 or 2 light sources, the viewport is fast. If you have many light sources in your scene, moving objects will be difficult.

I don't Know what happen under the hood of the lastest daily build but viewport GPU performance seems to be Very good.
i have tested with different scene interior exterior heavy vegetation and the responssivness is MIND blowing I'm able to turn arround with Fullscreen
Viewport render.

I can also change material and light setting with great ease compared to past experience.
Can anyone confirm i'm not just dreaming ?

But the crash bug related to switch is there ramdomly.

last build ; https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/BlendL ... tag/latest

Here is my test :

There were no changes that could affect this as far as I know, so it is most likely specific to this scene.

Strange i have another interior where it worked better.
Or it is related to RTX card update.

Hey, I found that after once rendered image this problem disappear.

Hi,

I figured out a small workaround. If you select a few lines in the console and you wait a little bit (up to a few minutes), blender gets responsive again. Rendering is going on, the rendering viewport is not updating, but you can move inside the image and work with blender.
If you want to fo back, so the rendering is updating, click inside the console and press "ESC" and wait a little bit.

I think this is helpful if you renderings will take some time.
