No, because a circle shaped meshlight won't emit parallel light rays over the whole scene.

Re: What files can LuxCoreRender work with

My question is will LuxCoreRender accept a 3D drawing file from Chief Architect Plan File (.plan) as is and allow me to render it. No, but there are some options: - check if you can import your file into Blender and render through our plugin in Blender. - write a script that converts .plan to LuxCo...

Re: BlendLuxCore Development

A question for the 2.8 addon. Is it possible to add pixel information in the viewport rendering? I'd like to see pixel color values of the rendered viewport without doing a final render. Not sure, it might be possible. Depending on if you need the raw values or the processed values after color mana...

Re: Light Intensities and Units

I also wanted to try the Distant light, and I had to use a Gain of 10 000 000, for a Size of 1. Does this have a unit? It's the half angle in degrees, similar to the Cycles sun in 2.8: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/render/lights/light_object.html#sun-light (just half of that). We should pr...

Re: camera white balance

About the white balancing, would it be possible in Blender 2.8 to not have the viewport refresh everytime you change something in the property panel? Color management changes should be instant and not trigger a viewport refresh (same for the White Balance picker I have that can't be used properly)....

Re: camera white balance

Please try again to create a new topic, it should work now. It's hard to find out correct intensities for sun/distant light, hdri and local lights, and to find some sort of correlation with Cycles as well (to make the add-on work for both). You might want to wait for the 2.8 version of our addon, I ...

Re: camera white balance

They also don't have any specific units and only have a Gain setting. Welcome chafouin, and thank you for your awesome addon! Sun and sky in LuxCore calculate their brightness depending on the angle of the sun. The rest is real-world values, e.g. mean distance between earth and sun, power output of...

Re: PhotonGI cache

Right click the console window title bar, then you get options like "mark", "copy" etc.
But a screenshot would already help a lot, if you make the window big enough vertically.

Re: PhotonGI cache

Can you post the console output? It should contain some traceback about the error.
