Hey,
Is it possible in LuxCore to use 1 HDRI for rhe lightning and annother one for the viewport/camera?
In Cycles i can use the Lightpath-Node for that, but i read that this node will not come for LuxCore.

use your hdri normally and set your camera to film transparent in camera propertie. then in tonemapper below camera setting check bckgrd image.

Hmm, that doesent rlly work like i want.
But thx for the help.

Nope, it isn't possible.

I found a workaround not the best or efficient but it gets the job done.

Textured Dome mesh.

Would be great to share so others can learn about it.

But that doesn't have the right "light intensity". From what I gathered you can't have emission w/o influencing other geo. As mentioned before Rayswitcher, Light Path node or a dedicated Environment Light setup (like most other engines do) would help and solve the issue.

eg RadeonPro Render's Env. Light controls: I'm also interested in what's been done here to tackle this problem.

As i said it is rlly dirty and cheap.

Just render with the "Light-HDRI" and transparent Film. And then change to the "View-HDRI" and render without any objects.
Combine both in post. Ofc in some cases in can cause problem with reflections but im fine with that, better than nothing. ^^

Light HDRI:


Combined transparent film render width no object "View-HDRI" render:
