Re: hair and fur

I think I will add an option to enable instancing for hair, to save memory. Sorry for the bump, but I was wondering, was this ever added as an option? I'm using the C++-API and I'm trying to render an animal with ~3m hair, but it requires too much memory to be viable (I'm using TESSEL_RIBBON_ADAPTI...

Re: General baking questions

It looks like a bug when using NOP image pipeline plugin with CUDA, I have to check. As work around you can force the image pipeline to run on CPU and there should be no problem.

Thank you for the quick response! The issue isn't the lightmap baking itself, it's the baking of light directions . This Unity article explains it pretty well (most modern Engines support directional lightmaps though): https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/LightmappingDirectional.html I.e. for every sampl...

Baking directional lightmaps?

Hello! I'm relatively new to LuxCoreRender (using the C++ API), and I noticed in the changelog for version 2.3 it says "BAKECPU now correctly includes the dot product of shading normal and light direction in light maps", does that mean we can use LuxCoreRender to bake directional lightmap ...
