Hey Guys,

I'm having an issue with GPU rendering on a particular material setup. Basically a RandomPerIsland material for distributing floorboards. It works flawlessly on CPU rendering but completely falls over on GPU, with either OPENCL or CUDA.

Information:
Blender 2.93LTS
LuxCore 2.6 Daily (Downloaded same day as this post)
RTX 3090 (Latest Drivers)

Images:
The node setup: CPU Render (Correct result): GPU Render (hmmm....):

That's the same issue I see with the math node on GPU that already report in the past. With CPU there is no problem but with GPU the material going to be dark and black in some parts as you can see in your final render too.
Same behavior with 3dsmax plugin and LuxCoreRender stand-alone version.

I need a test scene, a plane with your floor material.

Sure, no problem. Here is the scene file, the textures have been packed.

Added a github report of the error:

Actually, it is a problem related to bump mapping, if you disconnect the floor bump map, CPU and GPU rendering is the same. I'm checking what is going on.

Exactly, it appears in bump map, and the problem will show up in GPU render and not CPU.viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2995 I remember if I use Non-Color Data image for bump there was no problem with GPU renderer.

I should have fixed the problem, it was affecting Add/Subtract texture nodes when used for bump mapping. The fix will be included in the next automatic build.

Excellent, I'll check out the new auto build when it pops out.

Thanks for the quick turnaround time on this! Quite new to LuxCore and this is very encouraging to see.
