CRF can have any amount of values, you have only to have the same number of in and out values, it is the only constrain.

Re: Analog film simulation file format

A database of 201 response curves can be downloaded from http://www.cs.columbia.edu/CAVE//software/softlib/dorf.php (the direct link to the file is http://www.cs.columbia.edu/CAVE//software/dorf/response/dorfCurves.zip) It is a single text file with all 201 response curves. LuxCore will read the fir...

Re: Strange behavior during the rendering on the video card.

Windows has a quite bad threads schedular, as first step I would try to disable hybrid rendering (i.e. CPU+GPU) and to use only the GPU/OpenCL (this will leave the CPU free for other tasks and its contribution to rendering is often small anyway). The different behavior across different renderings ma...

Re: Env. Light Visibility Cache

The code is currently on the "envmap_cache" branch (https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/LuxCore/tree/envmap_cache) so it is not part of the daily build. I have still to write several parts to be able to render any scene, support OpenCL, etc. I will merge the branch when the CPU code is done s...

Re: Analog film simulation file format

May I ask, .crf is what? I've asked google and received very confusing result. There is a list of predefined camera responses (https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/LuxCore/blob/95d85566d9adc87fa4ea367cd7530f0a25e64d1d/src/slg/film/imagepipeline/plugins/cameraresponse.cpp#L429) and you need to use the n...

Re: Env. Light Visibility Cache

The data collected by tracing photons are a gold mine: at the moment I'm in doubt between a new version of visibility map for infinite lights or guided brute force path tracing (when current stuff is done). Is "guided brute force path tracing" still considered for development later? This ...

Re: Env. Light Visibility Cache

2. How bad is the memory footprint? Does it increase with scene complexity? It was my main concern at the start however I haven't seen a noticeable increase of memory usage in this scene (it has about 1300 cache entries). The complexity of the scene will increase the amount of cache entries require...

Env. Light Visibility Cache

I'm working on a new version of the "Visibility driven sampling of env. light sources (aka portals without portals)" (https://forums.luxcorerender.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=93). The original version was using a single visibility map for all the scene. The new version instead uses many vi...

Re: E-Cycles addon for Blender

I'm a bit puzzled by this E-Cycles thing: I'm not sure to fully understand what is going on. I mean, Cycles is APL like LuxCore so the license offers a lot of freedom. However Blender is GPL and that is big NONONO for this kind of stuff, I'm a bit surprised Blender Foundation didn't used a big lega...
