https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/BlendL ... aintenance

I've downloaded this file (by clicking on on download or clone) then unzip file on my addon folder. and i've downloaded https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/LuxCor ... tag/latest opencl 64.


And then copy all file in lastest luxcore in the bin folder of "BlendLuxCore-2.79_maintenance" in my blender addon folder. but nothing appear in the blender preference addon so i can enable or not.

Can someone with a windows Sys send me it own blendluxcore (with lastest source) folder zipped ?

Weird, your procedure sounds correct.
Did you restart Blender before you opened the user preferences?

Did you put it in the same addon folder as your existing BlendLuxCore folder?
Should be in %appdata%/local/roaming/blender foundation/2.79/scripts/addons (or so)

YES but this is it :
And strangely the same procedure with blendluxcore- master (not maintenance) work as expected.

Try to rename the folder to something like "BlendLuxCore279", without special characters, maybe Blender doesn't like that.

You know what ?

you save me again

After successfully implementing the new Disney shader into several old projects, today it failed for the first time.
In the old classroom scene from the Lux master repo the Disney shader doesn't work with the chrome material for the metal parts.
Some parts appear normal, some have wrong roughness, some are black with some specularity and the rest is totally black.
When I switch back to the metal node everything renders correctly.
All other materials (except translucent lampshades) also have been ported to Disney but work fine.

In Cycles it looks the same on front and back faces.

Disney material is now double side.

Can you test again when the latest commit by Dade is built?
The black parts were caused by the single-sidedness of the shader (they have inverted normals).

Thanks for looking into it!
I just reloaded the scene and flipped the normals of the mesh but still renders black

The latest commit is currently built on Azure and I will test when it is available.

Yep, it works (again)!

Thanks for the quick fix!
