blendluxcore_v2.8alpha1

Great! Thanks to Sharlybg who shared the information LuxCore runs in Blender 4.0 now I installed BlendLuxCore_v2.8alpha1 on my M1 MacBook Air 16 GB. And YES LuxCoreRender runs in Blender 4.0.2 Intel on my Mac. But not for long. As soon I saved a file with default cube set to material "Glass" and reloaded the scene neither viewport nor final render ran without error messages. I wrote an issue in https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/BlendL ... issues/897 but didn't got any feedback since. So I decided to give BlendLuxCore_v2.8alpha1 another try today starting Blender from Terminal to get messages logged, see github.

EDIT
Comment on github:

After changing "Film Device" in Render:"LuxCoreRender" from GPU to CPU rendering in Viewport runs without errors using "Compute Device" CPU.

After switching from "Compute Device" CPU to GPU BlendLuxCore initiated compiling openCL kernel after starting a final render. Just a few minutes later final render started using GPU.

Changing "Film Device" back to "Apple M1 (OPENCL)" threw again an error message:"OpenCL driver API error ..." switching to CPU started rendering in Viewport immediately.

After switching from OpenCL to CPU Viewport renders nicely.

Hi friends! Is there any update on progress here? I miss my LuxCore in Blender 🥹 If I knew how to help, I would.

Hi. At least for Blender 4.0.3 but not updated for Blender 4.1 or so. The main reason is in Blender 4.1 Python version has been changed to v3.11 from v3.10 and other deps too and this will be issue for LuxCoreRender v2.8+
