I filled in the sections about the distort texture, texture bombing, two-sided material, randomized tiling for imagemaps, Caustic AOV, 180° and 360° Stereo Cameras, OptiX Viewport Denoising and New Light Group Editor.

I think it would be good to also have examples of the new non-custom shapes (exponential, inverse exponential, gaussian etc.). Would someone be so kind to render these? Best would be to have just 1-3 big bokehs in the image with nothing else, so the difference is easily visible.

Other sections that still need to be done:
  • Example of randomized 3D mapping
  • Temperature Setting for Lights

Is this too simple?

That would be fine.
(but I would put the blue/yellow colors directly into the checkerboard texture and remove the color ramp)

The color ramp was a remainder of a Triplanar Test which I did before (which made me think of an improvement that I will post in a sec).

Here's the proper version.

I added a section about the new model packs for the LuxCore Online Library.

About the temperature settings for light, Sharlybg, maybe you can render one of your lamps with three different light temperatures (orange, white, blue) to showcase this?

While I was testing the 3D Mapping with Triplanar Mapping is was obvious that the random rotation isn't working too well. I could work around it with individual 2D mappings, but a smarter way would be to maybe adapt the 3D Mapping node a bit.

How about adding a "Triplanar Rotation" checkbox (like the Uniform Scale one in the scale section) to the Rotation section? When you check it, there's only one rotation range (again similar to the Uniform Scale adaption) that rotates the projected bitmap around it's own axis on each side. This is the way that the rotation might be used in most cases anyway.

Attached is a test that shows the bad stretching that happens by using the random 3D Mapping rotation on the Triplanar node.

Forget about my previous comment (somewhat). There might be some issue with the Random Local option. Look at this comparison. Both transformations should be 45° on each axis, yet they look different. The Local option looks quite nice, while the Random Local might have an issue with the transitions.

Here's the node setup

And here's a comparison of the mapping just being rotated around 45°on the X-axis. With the Local option, all the maps (and transitions are rotated correctly). When using Random Local, the maps are rotated fine, but the transition stays in place and ends up blending the wrong projections over each other. Maybe you can make better sense of this.

So basically the Random Local option should have the same visual result as the Local option, just the amount of the rotations is randomized.

Please open a github issue about that in the LuxCore repository.

Done. Opened the issue in the BlendLuxcore issue tracker.
