Re: Hybrid Back/Forward path tracing (aka BiDir without MIS)

If there was the simulation of a lens-sensor system there were effects of aperture and depth of field. ... ... and finally there is this point called camera in some raytracers. I still don’t see the advantages of this solution. I think I'm a bit losing your point... Are you suggesting that raytrace...

Re: Hybrid Back/Forward path tracing (aka BiDir without MIS)

Regarding DOF: ... I have no idea how LuxCore does this. Neither do I, hence my question :D But yes, could be implemented like that as well... As far as I know, DOF is taken into account by tracing eye rays from slightly different positions to sample the aperture. I don't think this can make the ca...

Re: PhotonGI cache

I have manually deployed the build, now it's available.

In general, when the build succeeds but the deployment fails, it is possible to (re)deploy only by accessing the release pipeline, without running the whole build again:

I'll cancel the running build.

Re: PhotonGI cache

Last two builds from Azure failed! I hope the automatic pipeline can be fixed! I had a look and noticed that this happens quite often at times. The build actually succeeds, but the following deployment of one of the packed binaries to GitHub fails because of this error: 2019-06-15T15:09:03.8924021Z...

Re: Disney BRDF material

What I would find cool would be an Azure script that creates a new BlendLuxCore daily build whenever: a) a LuxCore daily build is published b) a commit is pushed to the BlendLuxCore repo But it would be a bit of work + requires knowledge of Azure scripts (which I don't have at the moment). Yes, tha...

+1 for this!

Re: BlendLuxCore Development

I was running LuxCoreUI only.

Re: Windows build deps

Almost everything should be static.
OpenImageIO is dynamic.
Embree, tbb and OIDN are also dynamic, but we use distributed binaries for those. Same for Qt.

Re: Windows build deps

The build-deps-x64.bat seems to apply some old patches from WindowsCompile\support folder on top of new libraries. The build-deps-x64.bat applies patches that are meant to be used for the deps versions downloaded by the getdeps.bat . If you update getdeps.bat to download latest versions, you also h...

Re: sdk lib files

About the missing lib files: could it be they have just been forgotten, and no one noticed yet? Nigec, it could be you are the first one who actually tries to use the SDK on Windows, so this might have gone unnoticed... The only required file should be luxcore.lib and I have modifed create-sdk.bat s...
