BlendLuxCore Development

[B.Y.O.B.]

Late-night idea: sockets now show in the UI when the connected input is not compatible (export will throw an error):

Added support for normalmaps to imagemap node.

However, something weird is still going on - do you have an idea what could be wrong?
Only the camera is moving here.

I'm not sure if this is the problem you are talking about but the camera transformations include some kind of scale. It something strange and unexpected, as result the rays to trace had not normalized directions causing a lot of odd behaviors (i.e. the glossy sphere rendering was totally messed).

I fixed this problem so now transformations with scale can be used too.

I have to apply the worldscale of Blender, otherwise the camera is in the wrong place.
However I could undo the scale.
Thanks for the normalization.

But was that the problem you were talking about ? Or is there something else ?

[B.Y.O.B.]

It was one of them.
Now only one is left I think:

I have a scene where a camera and a green sphere are moving at equal speed to the left.
In the background are some white cubes on a red plane.
I use both camera and object motion blur.

When I use shutter = 1.0, everything works as expected (green sphere is sharp because it has equal speed with camera, background is blurred).
But when I use any other shutter value, the green sphere is blurred as well.

edit: please refer to the filenames for what the images represent (e.g. shutter_0.5.jpg is a luxcore render with shutter 0.5, the ones from cycles have a cycles suffix).
I can't edit the attachment descriptions because the attachments don't show up when I hit "edit post".

I should have fixed the problem (pull both LuxCore and BlendLuxCore).

Hi guys just to tell thanks you very much ! i just realize that installation of blendluxcore provide luxcore directly not like in the past where you need two package and specify engine folder. thank for this 2 in one i really appreciate such simple things make life so easier . thanks you DEV's

Yes it's something I wanted to do for a very long time.
