LuxCoreRender Forums

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:

Yes, it is not supported by Optix but it will work with CUDA: I just need to add a check to disable Optix if the device is not supported.

The current daily builds are now from v2.5 sources: they include Optix support, etc.

As far as I remember, it is the first time I see LuxCore (or even the old Lux) used for this kind of stylized/cartoon rendering style. Who said it wasn't possible ? It looks damn good :D This a quite typical field of application for Cycles but I would say that LuxCore adds a little photorealism twist.

It is working fine here

It should.

It might also be a good idea to throw a runtime error in LuxCore with a clear error message in case a driver with lower CUDA version is used for GPU rendering (if it's possible to detect this). v2.4, as far as I know, works with any (not prehistoric) CUDA version. The problem is related to the NVRT...

Thanks for the clarification! So if I understand it correctly absorption on a material level is more like a coating, not sub-surface absorption for a SSS / translucency effect. A volume node is needed for that. Yes, in Lux, materials always describe only the surface, the inside of an object is defi...

Yes, v2.4 was developed with CUDA 10 and v2.5 is developed with CUDA 11 (required by Optix v7.1).
