Hi and Blender Normal Map

Post by arvinmoses »

Hi guys! Glad to be testing LuxcoreRender 2.

Testing it currently with blender and having issues with running normal map. Doc says:

Load normal via imagemap node
Turn on normal option
Plug into Bump slot

I couldn't find the normal option anywhere, and so I tried plugging it directly to the bump slot, but that did not turn out correctly.

Image

I also wanted to ask if there is a discplacement option. Thanks guys and looking forward to working with LCR more in the future.

Normal mapping is not supported by the addon yet.
The wiki is misleading in that regard, sorry.

Not yet in LuxCore.
You'll have to use Blender's displacement modifier.

The wiki documentation is still very new and will not fully reflect the current state of the exporter. This will change in time though. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks a ton for the response guys. Sorry it took me some time to response. Was a bit busy with catch up at work.

Most of my test is based on normal/displacement. I may not be a ton of help til it's implemented, but I'll keep messing around with it. I really love the results.
