Made a solar panel material in Substance designer and rendered in LuxCore.

Nice render!

How to you export to luxcore for rendering? Substance Designer does not mention it.

I just used default metal/rough.
Discovered, that in my first render there was a problem with metal mixing so I fixed it now :D.

Looks even better.

This means, you create tiling textures first, and import them to blender adding then materials in luxcore addon?
Do you know other tiling texture creating software?

Yes, I first create a tiling texture and then apply it to my objects. If you're interested in a simpler solution for making tiling textures check out allegorithmic's bitmap2material. But you could just do it manually in Krita.

Thank you for the hint, looks like Wrap-around mode is exactly what I was looking for.
