Transitioning from VRay to LuxCoreRender

[happyboy]

As far as LuxCore is concerned, every length is in meters.

Thanks!

Another question: can we store OBJECT_ID AOV in an exr? I'm getting this error:

RuntimeError: Object ID image can be saved only in non HDR formats: 4

But in wiki (https://wiki.luxcorerender.org/LuxCore_ ... ka_AOVs.29) OBJECT_ID is marked as "HDR".

And with VRay, it is stored in a channel of uint type instead of float type and my program can successfully read from it (and values are correct).

Is this intended, or a bug? If it's not a bug, how is it stored? I'm asking because I tried to store luxcore's OBJECT_ID AOV in LDR (a png file), but the file looks different than VRay's png.

Also, if I defined an "ALBEDO" output, but don't have an "AVG_SHADING_NORMAL" output defined, ALBEDO won't be saved. If I defined both, both will be saved. It looks like a bug? (I'm not using OIDN in this case)

OBJECT_ID, MATERIAL_ID and SAMPLECOUNT AOVs are saved in RGB 8 bits (so only 24 bits are stored): https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/LuxCor ... t.cpp#L483

Thanks! The results (luxcore vs VRay) matched now.

It was a bug and I should have fixed this problem.

Thanks! It works now.
