Test LuxCore and Indigo - simple scene
Posted: Wed Jan 26, 2022 8:03 pm
I am looking to add LuxCore and specifically Blend Lux Core to my workflow.
Indigo Renderer is a very capable render engine. The Blender exporter for Indigo was initially developed by one of the original developers of the Luxrender plugin for Blender, but since he stopped development a few years ago the plugin has not really seen the development it deserves.
The geometry of the scene is obviously very simple, a twisted torus and a curved plane.
The material is lead crystal with couchy B and tabulated absorption spectra.
The lighting is the Circus Arena HDRI from Polyhaven with 50+ small high intensity light sources.
I used the same camera response functions and tried to get the velvet material somewhat close.
I have not yet tried to match the white point.
Also in Indigo I used pure path tracing on the GPU only. In Luxcore I used Light tracing, which I used Both the CPU and GPU.
The purpose of the comparison was only to see if I could get similar results with somewhat similar computing power.
The results speak from themselves.
Pretty impressive work LuxCore Team!
