How to cite LuxCoreRender?

Post by gui-miotto »

I used LCR in my thesis. What is the preferred way to cite it?
Also, can I download the LCR logo in vector format (pdf or svg) somewhere? I would like to add it to some slides.

I assume https://luxcorerender.org may do the job.

There is no scientific- or conference paper about LuxCore if that's what you ask.
Citing software in science generally is an "awkward" topic, partly because of that.

As an alternative, you can also cite the GitHub repository, i.e. where the source-code is available, togther with a version number of the software you used.

Yes. I was looking for such a paper. Have you guys ever thought about writing such a material? Something like the one they wrote about numpy:
