I don't know, I don't know.
It's so cool that there's no chance not to use it in production!
If I was a ninja, my sword would be Luxcore

Give me this error: Missing script files BlendluxCore_280

Windows 10, Blender 2.81 latest, Add-ons -install

When can we expect Luxcore 2.3

[Magog]

When I try to insert an Image node, Blender 2.81 crashes.
On the 2.80 it's really stable and it works great.

[marcatore]

2.81 is not supported, cause it's in alpha stage.
For example, this 2.81 build (blender-2.81-4c4a8bf588c5-windows64) is working good...later crashes has you reported.

So, best stay on 2.80
