Is there any method to see the old luxrender forum? I want to watch old user work done in the old lux. I tried to use the wayback machine, but many pages are missing there :cry:

The binaries are here: https://wiki.luxcorerender.org/Previous_Version

We don't have a copy of the old forums/website so you have to use one of the internet "time machines".

Oh, then okay :oops: .
I would like to ask another small question, luxcore is no longer spectral rendering right? or bidir spectral, but path not spectral? when i use the old luxrender is it spectral in all modes? and when i use luxcore api in luxrender 1.6 is it no longer spectral?

LuxCore does spectral rendering on demand, only when required, both with BiDir and Path: the end result is the same of old LuxRender but it has far less noise and it is a lot faster.

I was also interested in this, as I recently re-downloaded Luxrender 1.6 / 1.7 to do one final render with, and to see how much the signature "look" that Luxrender achieved has changed. I'm sure the old forums contained a lot of invaluable insight into user problems with the engine. It is sad to hear that that has been lost.
