LuxCoreRender Forums

Hello! Maybe i do something wrong but i get very different and less realistic (in my opinion) result when i use PGI cash.
The scene is very simple. All PGI settings i left by defult. As you see in this scene PGI gives very dark gradient on the sphere. Is it normal?
I use luxcore 2.5.

It is hard to say without knowing all settings: can you post the test scene ?

When i try to attach blend file i get a messege that it is too large.
This is direct link on blend file: https://my-files.su/Save/4d2ree/blend.blend

Also i tried to render this scene on my second PC and cash works fine.

my test
everything is fine
gpu cuda

Well... It is somehow depend on my system or something else... I will try to instal latest luxcore build.
Thank you.

I solved the problem... The cause was russian username on my PC.

Unfortunately, LuxCore didn't use Unicode. I don't know why, but maybe devs can explain details of it. Also textures and hdri's can't be loaded if path contains russian symbols.

К сожалению LuxCore не использует юникод. Я не знаю почему, ведь сам блендер вполне ок с этим, может разработчики пояснят этот вопрос. Текстуры и hdri'ки тоже не грузятся, если в пути есть русские символы.

As far as I know, LuxCore can: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2197

There may be something in between to not encode the string in UTF-8.

Is there any way to fix it or help with it?

You must have some kind of error message inside the log and you can also post a test scene showing the problem.
