[Dade]

Nothing about the dark render ? Dade can you try nakagin scene on your side for brightness comparison ?

Where can I download it ?

I think this problem was already fixed, with the latest sources I only get

Code: Select all

PhotonGI WARNING: nothing is visible and/or cache enabled.

as warning.

Yes, it's now working. Thank you

How PGI flickering looks on still (with animated & static seed for sampler)

For animations, we are going to need the capability to load/save the cache from/to file, it is something I still need to write. There is also the fact that the cache is not currently deterministic (due to multi-threading), it may be something I will have to change too.

Yes, no problem, i assumed something along those lines. It was just a demo on my part to feed curiosity.
With LuxCore i feel a bit like pioneering, as it was back in the days when photography & cinema were born. And i like the feel of a real analog film with all the elements that made every captured frame unique. Even without any thought about style and alchemy behind, every work made back then shows its essence - has soul.

Thank you all for everything

I'm arround 800Mb for the blend files. Will upload them tomorrow o a faster internet connection ( to heavy for my cell phone internet data ).

I assume the problem is there with just the walls and the hdr/sky too. I just need a test I can run to check the problem.

I have downloaded the scene but I assume it has been done with an old version of BlendLuxCore and I get an error about Band texture.

<mode=RANT>
As generale rule: please, I don't know how Blender works nor I have the time to google how to obtain anything out of it. When reporting a possible bug, always try to reduce the scene to the bare minimum. I don't need a pretty rendering, I need to be able to reproduce the problem. I look at numbers and it takes hours, trying to track something inside a 500MB scene and can easily become a nightmare. So post a cube with a hole when you can, not a 500MB scene.

P.S. Sharlybg, sorry for the rant, this is not directed to you but, in general, I'm really pissed off when people don't want to spend 5mins preparing a test scene while I have to spend hours on the problem.

But Dade, a cube with hole doesn't show this problem
PGI off

PGI on

You didn't upload the scene!
