LuxCoreRender Forums

Dad, thank you again for your detailed and kind response.

I understand now that I need to change my paradigm of how LuxCoreRender works for my particular workflow. I was trying to take the workflow I had been using for LuxRender and simply transpose it onto LuxCoreRender, and now I see that I ...

After thinking about this a little bit more I realized that I could automate the process of sending of multiple render files to the Console with a shell script:

for file in *.bcf; do python3 pyluxcoretools.zip console Animation/"${file}"; done


But then I have ran into the problem that every ...

python3 pyluxcoretools.zip console xyz.bcf



I am actually quite encouraged by the possibilities of using the console as you have suggested. Is it possible to pass multiple files to to console with one argument? Something like:


python3 pyluxcoretools.zip console xyz1.bcf xyz2.bcf xyz3.bcf ...

I have the feeling you are using the wrong tool for your needs: with a single node, network rendering is a bit redundant. You can just transfer the .bcf file by hand and than do an headless rendering by just:


That's an interesting idea, and thank you for the suggestion I will give it a try ...

Thanks again. Numpy is now installed. Although one step closer I am still not having success.

I just downloaded BlendLuxCore 2.4 and LuxCore Standalone 2.4 (official releases) and when I try to use Network Rendering I am getting the error:

[Errorno 61] Connection refused

My first though was that ...

Thanks again for your very patient replies. I really want to get LuxCoreRender to function for my workflow and I am really struggling with this, but I hope that I am not being too annoying with so many questions. My basic workflow is to render many different individual images, not animations, so ...

Can you do the same test with a fresh scene ? You may have some setting different from Blender default in your scene. Note: my default Blender "Color Management => View Transform" is set to "Filmc", yours seems set to "Standard".


I tried a fresh scene with just the cube and everything behaved ...

Thanks for the quick reply. I've attached an image comparing the internal and external render, and also the .cfg file, however the external render was run from a binary .bcf file, but I exported the .cfg file immediately afterward and didn't change any settings.

Thank you. Such an easy fix, and this is specified in the Wiki, but I just didn't notice it.

A little bit of a follow up question now that I have the Network Render option working, I can't get the external Network Render to look the same as the image when rendered internally. I have Color ...

MacOS 10.14.6
BlendLuxCore 2.4 beta1

When I launch LuxCore Network Render from inside of blender and then open a NetConsole window and then "add job" I am not able to select the .cfg file. All the files are greyed out. See attached image. Has anyone else encountered this before? I've attached a ...
