Omg....
Exporting a quad using 6 vertices instead of 4 is wrong for sure.
How does Cycles work with the default cube from the "island" point of view ? Is it considered a single island or 6 (one for each face) ?

It's a single island in Cycles. As it should be, we're definitely doing something wrong during export.

So, apparently Cycles "islands" are base only on vertices position and they disregard Normals/UVs/etc. (?)
Is there a way to test this assumption ? Like with a cube with split normals to see if we still get a single island ?

Yes, the Cycles implementation seems to check only vertices and their edges for connections:

However we should still fix the Blender -> LuxCore mesh conversion, do you want to take that on or should I have a look at it?

I'm not going to touch it for the moment.

Could this also fix custom normals for luxcore or that's a separate issue?

That's another matter.

Added information to the first post about new: "random" texture, shape "islandaov" and shape "randomtriangleaov".
