LuxCore Online Library (LOL)
Introduction
There is a new feature integrated in the BlendLuxCore addon: The LuxCore Online Library: The library offers a variety of assets to build up new scenes. The assets are created and provided by Charles Nandeya Ehouman (Sharlybg). The asset bar is based on the blenderkit addon in blender.
Access and Short Manual
You can access the library via the UI Panel on the right side of the 3D viewport. To display the asset bar click on the 'Asset bar' button. After loading the assets from the server there are different categories available. The assets can be scrolled with the scoll wheel of the mouse. If you want to add an asset to the scene you can drag the thumbnail into the scene. The asset will be placed on the ground plane or on the surface of another object if there is one which will be intersected. While in drag mode there is the bounding box of the asset and an arrow for the front side. The asset can be rotated with the scroll wheel in 90° steps. If the asset is dragged into the scene for the first time, it will be downloaded form the server and cached locally. An already cached asset is indicated via the green bar beneath the thumbnail.
The asset bar can be translated with the middle mouse button and resized on the edges with the left mouse button.
You can choose if the asset should be linked or appended in the panel. Mixing of linking and appending can lead to unpredicted behaviour due to a blender bug. It is better to choose one of the two methods and keep it for the project.
Demo
There is a short demo video available on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoQjoxbEDWM
