Re: Compiling on Windows

Ok, beginning to think I'm actually doing something stupid trying to compile here. I've tried VS2013, VS2015, and VS2017 compilers and get the same error on all three. To be fair, none of the compilers are actually the correct one as specified in the readme (more on that below, <shakes fist at Micr...

Re: What is new in LuxCore API v2.0 ?

My next big target is https://aws.amazon.com/batch/?nc1=h_ls (with support for network rendering of single images and animation frames).

Re: The pink elefant

How should we expose this in exporters? Should we allow the user to set 3 separate values? Or would it be better to have only one IOR-value in the UI and have a "Dispersion Strength"-slider which specifies the diverting IORs? For example: IOR: 1.5 Dispersion Strength: 0.02 -> exported as ...

Re: BlendLuxCore Development

Ok, so I'm a little excited to play around with the new LuxCore in spite of the Blender bug. I know enough about coding and rendering to be dangerous, but maybe not enough to be directly useful (we'll see how adventurous I get)... but I can at least test things and provide intelligent feedback :) W...

Re: The pink elefant

Added the support glass dispersion on GPUs: dispgpu.png I have merged the experimental branch with the main one. Glass dispersion can be enabled using the ".dispersion" flag in Glass material definition. Volumes/Glass IORs can now accept 3 values instead of 1 (red IOR, green IOR, blue IOR)...

P.S. at the moment, I'm not even sure if it is theoretically correct, for sure, it is damn good at faking it.

Spectral rendering done in LuxCore :o spectral2.jpg (who is used to old LuxRender renderings can easily spot the rainbow-ish white on early stage of the rendering) spectral1.jpg This is just the result of a test (direct light only) to check if the general idea can work. I think it is worth some furt...

Re: BlendLuxCore Development

The rendering speed will be about the same, as far as I know there were only small speed improvements in LuxCore code since I rendered the old scene. There has been some major change/improvement in the OpenCL code but you are using BiDir so it is CPU-only. The only difference is likely to be the Em...

Re: nakaging capsule

Thanks you for let me discover Amazon EC2.I just wonder how fast it could be.they say it is 90% cost effecient than power on demand service. Yup, they can be very cost effective in general and, in our case, we can use spot instances with their up to 90% discount: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/spot/pri...
