Measured or tabulated materials in LuxCoreRender

Hi All,
I was looking for measured materials in Luxrender. I found how to define tabulated .nk fresnel data for metal material.
Would be helpful to have a way to define measured materials as in PBRT? (

Are measured materials generally interesting for the LuxRender users?

LuxCore already supports .nk files for Metal material

It is if it has a material database already available
and it is distributed with a license compatible with LuxCore APL v2.0. Some scanned material database wasn't compatible with APL in the past.

Thank you for the explanation. I hope such a database could be done by some university program.

I was thinking to MERL:

It was done by Mitsubishi but it can be used "without fee (only) for educational, research and non-profit purposes" so it is useless in our context.
