LuxCoreRender Forums

Now i get different error: "C:\Users\Human\Documents\cp\WindowsCompile\Build_CMake\LuxCore\LuxRays.sln" (default target) (1) -> "C:\Users\Human\Documents\cp\WindowsCompile\Build_CMake\LuxCore\samples\luxcorescenedemo\luxcorescenedemo.vcxpro j.metaproj" (default target) (16) -> &...

So I downloaded the standalone LuxCoreRender and unpacked it into the same place as BlendLuxCore, and then everything stopped working again. This is not the way the standalone version is intended to be used, just unpack in a different directory. I'm not sure what kind of consequences can have this ...

I should have fixed the problem.

Great renderings

Will Luxcore stay free forever?. It was a while I don't see this question: it wasn't a rare question for LuxRender many years ago, I think the main reason, at the time, was Indigo moving from free to use to commercial (I have vague memory of Indigo being available for free before the v1.0 :?: ). An...

Short version: you need to use a v2.3 automatic build and to enable caustic cache too.

When official v2.3 will be out?

I hope before the end of the year but don't hold your breath

However automatic build is quite stable so you could give it a spin.

I would like to mix cycles render and lux caustics, what is the right way to get caustics from Lux? Here is the (yafaray) version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZ7EtyhGeWo There is a trick you can use: - use PATHCPU; - enabled light tracing and set the partition between light and eye tracing to d...

How can i also get a good sharp caustics in reflections? I have problems to do so.Lux-Custics.jpg They are called SDS paths (i.e. Specular-Diffuse-Specular paths) and are very hard to impossible to render even for normal BiDir. They require this feature: https://forums.luxcorerender.org/viewtopic.p...

Have Lux developers tried to collaborate with other renderengine coders, for example Appleseed team? In distance past, there was a tentative to collaborate with Yafaray but it didn't work out. The problem is: it is particularly hard to find something to share with another and different render engin...

For me the biggest reason why i haven't yet changed to Lux is uncertainty about its future. I would say that my biggest fear is that if i start to learn a new render engine and suddenly development stops, because of lack of developers. Well, everything is possible but LuxRender/LuxCoreRender is one...
