Credit for this goes to cruderustle and the donators who placed $30 on the bounty: https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/BlendL ... issues/234
Custom viewport color doesn't work if it's assigned in Cycles first. It works if you assign the color in lux first though. In my case, I'm converting objects from Cycles to LuxCore but most objects have viewport color assigned in Cycles already. Now I can't do anything in lux, it's all gray. Is this something easily fixed or any workaround?

I looked into it and it seems to be triggered by the "use_nodes" property of the material. If use_nodes is True, the OpenGL viewport seems to use a different code path to display the material than when use_nodes is False.
I do not see a fix or workaround for this problem yet.

Apparently, if I set "bl_use_shading_nodes" to True, we get the same OpenGL shading as when using Cycles.
But I have to investigate first what other consequences this has, it might be that I left it disabled for a reason.

One problem I already found is that in the "material" shading mode, it shows the Cycles material, which might confuse users.

From my experience, try to remove all UV maps.

Thanks for the new release. And what about the baking textures feature?

Hi

I'm struggling to get this latest version to install?

I've installed the required Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for VS 2017

Screenshot attached

Thank you

Unfortunately this exception does not tell us much.
Does it work with the non-opencl release? If that's the case, try updating your graphics driver, there might be an issue with the OpenCL installation.
