LuxCoreRender Forums

First, I need to explain that I do not have enough time to work and maintain the Maya plugin regularly but as i can see there is no good point to start i decide to give it a shot and start the plugin so we have a good point to start with at least for the other developer to flow and complete the code.
I believe the hardest part of such a project is where and how to start.
I'm not promise anything yet but I will try my best to provide the basic functionality. at the moment I'm experimenting with the development and it is too early yet to have a working plugin.
At the first step I will bring back the LuxCoreRenderer exporter from dead so it will be possible to use it with the stand-alone version of LuxCore and in the next phase, I will recreate the internal plugin to render directly inside Autodesk Maya.
For now, I will just support the 2 latest versions of Maya to make it simple.
I'll be grateful for any kind of help.
Dade, please add MayaToLux so I can have a place to work on it.

I check the old source code that i found but they were absolete and outdated. but there are a few good part to look at.

The fact that you're opening the road for futur Devs is a miracle by itself. You're awesome

Thank you Dade. is it okay to upload experimental code or wait to get the result then try to push the code

It is ok.

Here is the very first screenshot of the very first shader UI in Maya 2019.

That's very kind of you. it is just the start of the path.
Of course, after finishing the exporter to LuxCoreRender I'll start to create an internal Maya renderer.
