Can you check if a "pyluxcore.pyd" file exists in your "Blender/2.79/scripts/addons/BlendLuxCore-master/bin" directory ?

Something has gone wrong during the installation. Did you installed .zip as described here (https://wiki.luxcorerender.org/BlendLux ... stallation) ?

The "-master" suffix in the name of the "BlendLuxCore-master" directory is a bit strange, are you trying to install BlendLuxCore from GitHub sources ?

Anyway, deleting the Blender/2.79/scripts/addons/BlendLuxCore-master" directory and following the https://wiki.luxcorerender.org/BlendLux ... stallation should be enough to solve your problem.

You can't simply download from github. You need to download a release from the release section or go to the download page on luxcorerender.org and get it from there.

Hi Dade

Yes, tried to install from github. Whilst doing it I uninstalled the original programme and probably screwed something up in the process!

I'll use your suggestion (in a few minutes) and report back.

Thanks

That's it, downloading the beta from the proper download page instead of from Github

Thanks for helping me out.

Have a nice weekend. I know what I'll be doing with mine......!

Hi,
On the same issue:
I have installed Blender 2.79 and BlendLuxCore on a new PC with Win10.
There was no problem to activate LuxCore after install.
But when I try to load a Blender scene and then activate LuxCore, I get the following error msg:
Image
pyluxcore.pyd seems on its place, in:
C:\Users\igall\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.79\scripts\addons\BlendLuxCore\bin
What could go wrong?
Many thanks,
Igal

If you are using OpenCL version on a PC where OpenCL version is not available or other various related problems: you can find here (https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/BlendL ... issues/138) a long discussion about this problem an the possible causes. You can just follow my suggestions there to debug what is going wrong.
