Such kind of work totally deserve all the need to come to life. do it 4k with as much as samples possible it is a masterpiece. just remenber my simple cold fusion scene (but in my case i should had use laser to drastically reduce the time instead of hiden light plane inside box.

Thanks guys :)
I'll give it another month if I have to but I'd rather find out how Lux does gamma and fix my render if possible.

I'm afraid I haven't seen your cold fusion scene but I'd love to. Do you think there's anything I could do about my scene to speed it up without compromising quality?

Does anyone know how Lux does gamma? I mean, what's the maths? If it's just an exponent I must have done something wrong :?

Did you render this in Blender or outside (using luxcoreconsole or luxcoreui)?
Because we don't use the gamma correction plugin in Blender, Blender does the gamma correction for us.

Does exr format support a kind of reset? I mean gamma, exposure and color space are rather a look up table for how the file has to be displayed and raw information is not touched.

using luxcoreconsole or luxcoreui
Sorry to jump post, but how do you install these? I downloaded the standalone version, but can't see an .exe file in it.

Thanks

https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/LuxCor ... opencl.zip includes a luxcoreui.exe and pylucoretools.exe :?:

luxcoreconsole is included only in the SDK version (as a demo with source) but "pylucoretools.exe console" does exactly the same task.

I did it in Blender. Thanks for the info :)
Should just be v^gamma or v^(1/gamma) where v is the value of the pixel, right? At least that's what the gamma node seems to do.
