yes!

Hi B.Y.O.B ! want to make a suggestion about node tree. can you make a link between material name and material nodetree name so their always share the same name ?

Thanks for reminding me.
I added a handler that checks if node tree names are out of sync and syncs them if needed: https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/BlendL ... 2831f9b54f
Seems to work pretty well so far.

Thanks B.Y.O.B ! I'm bit ashamed to ask you more But .......................Hmmm !

Sure.

Shadow smoothness is controlled by the size of the lamp. You can make area lights larger or raise the sun radius.
However, point lights and spot lights will always create perfectly sharp shadows.

It may be worth to add the support for a new "radius" parameter for point and spot lights

Thank you anyway.

Done. On the way I also unified the support for IES files, so all lights where it's possible to use IES files do now support them (point lights, area lights, meshlights).

Could be useful, yes.

Hi,

it seems that rotate values in texture 3D mapping node are not effective: for whatever value I get the same result.
Translate and scale work properly.
I am using build and addon from yesterday with Blender 2.79a RC.
A test scene is attached.

Thanks for the report, I fixed it: https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/BlendLuxCore/issues/60
