That is a very good idea:
To leave everything where it is ATM and create a new panel (persistent cache settings) where all caches can be saved at once!

If you use multiple infinite light sources, you can have multiple caches with different parameters. Technically, it is a light source setting. However no one ever use multiple infinite light sources so just to say how it works.
Thanks for clarification, when you said "it works best with sun light" in the other thread I wrongly concluded it was no infinite light setting any more.
As there is only one world background it should not be possible to use more than one infinite light source!?

In luxcore multiple infinite lightsources are useles right now. But in future the ability to have a hdri(or sky) for lighting and an hdri for visible rays could be useful. Or a desaturated or somehow else modified hdri for light and another one for visibility.

Or, this could be handled by one infinite light source that is editable with nodes and additional rayswitch node to handle multiple maps used in different ways. Like light path node in cycles

EDIT: one way or another, nodes instead of render settings or light parameters sound more futureproof to me.

Since a few days I'm working on a "cycles node reader" that translates Cycles nodes to LuxCore materials at export time.
No actual visible node trees are modified, and you can enable/disable the usage of the Cycles nodes for each material at any time.
I have recorded some demo videos about it:

https://youtu.be/ObzwXWC4iO4
https://youtu.be/s52tluXbasc

Note that it's very early work in progress and only very few nodes (around 5 or so) are supported right now.
There's a lot of work to be done still on this topic.

Really good work on 2.80 port.


Got 2.79 Error:
"No valid Camera Response Functions in: C:\CRF\dscs315_5.crf"
& This shows in console:

What does it mean? Is it LuxCore or BlendLuxCore bug?
Because last time i worked with .crf files they all worked :?
Happens also with one posted here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=788&p=8183&hilit=crf+film#p8183

Thanks for everything.

Very cool. Nice feature.
