Great, this may help with a pattern I failed to define recently.
What is the purpose of the node „Absolute“ in your setting?

Makes negative values positive - without it, the left half of the plane would be black because the numbers are negative and then clamped to 0.

May I ask, how you install LuxCore for Blender 2.8?
I installed BlendLuxCore-refactor-new_blender2.80.zip from file in the Prefs/Addons,
renamed the folder in C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.80\scripts\addons to BlendLuxCore.
Then I looked into bin\get_binaries.py. I found all required files in BlendLuxCore-v2.2beta1-win64-opencl.zip, except luxcoreui.exe
and copied them to C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.80\scripts\addons\BlendLuxCore\bin.
What did I miss?

The 2.8 port is coming along, I'm laying the foundations step by step.
What's working so far:
- the addon registers without errors (I had to edit 150 files to reach this point, a lot of search/replace of course)
- I have ported the viewport draw code to modern OpenGL
- I can start a small, hard-coded testscene that is rendered in the viewport, and I can move the camera around
- I have ported our C++-accelerated mesh conversion code, so I can load meshes from Blender into Lux (at the moment only one object can be used)
What's not working yet:
- Everything else
- Final render, viewport render, material previews are not usable yet
- The whole UI is disabled, meaning that the property window is very empty
- The viewport camera is slightly off for some reason
I'm mostly done with the groundwork though.

Sorry, if I didn't make myself clear.
I don't have any LuxCore in Blender.
I thought I missed something in the installation process.

Thanks for your interest in the 2.80 port.
The problem is that currently, all LuxCore binaries are built with Python 3.5 because that is the version Blender 2.79 uses.
However, Blender 2.80 uses Python 3.7, and the LuxCore binaries have to be built with Python 3.7 as well, otherwise they are incompatible.
So in theory, what you have to do is compile LuxCore yourself with Python 3.7 and use the resulting binaries.
However, I would recommend to do this at this stage because there are just not enough working features yet.
You would see most of your non-instanced meshes and two hardcoded testlights, that's about all.
Once I feel that the program is at a point where it makes sense to test it, I will make an announcement about this and there will be pre-built releases with the correct Python version.

Thanks to CodeHD's work, our OIDN plugin can now be applied in tiles to reduce RAM usage.
You can specify the tile size in the denoiser settings.
