BlendLuxCore, the Blender integration plugin for the renderer, now supports Blender 2.80, and work has begun on supporting all of the materials, lights and. There is a new website for the reboot of Luxrender as Luxcorerender: The LuxCoreRender team has released version 2.2 of the open-source physically based renderer, adding a new GI cache system and a Disney BRDF material, and integrating Open Image Denoise. I had hoped to use that hardware with IRAY, and it took a while for me to realize that you could only use one copy of IRAY unless you paid the $300/yr for extra copies/licenses. About the same rendering power as a GTX 1060, but with 24 GB ram.
Total cost was a bit over $2000 - not too bad. A total of 72x I7 Westmere cores. Then I will not need to struggle with GPU rendering or VRAM, and I will be able to use it for any flavor of Lux, Carrarra Grid, Cycles, and the non-AVX version of VUE render. I am slowly working on building a small cluster with 6 Supermicro X8 server blades, 2x Xeon X5660 CPUs per blade and 24 GB RDIMM per CPU package. Even the new LuxCoreRender does not have the bidirectional light path engine for GPU rendering, and they say it probably never will.
The LuxCoreRender team has released version 2.3 of the open-source physically based renderer, adding support for triplanar texture mapping, glTF export and improved displacement and subdivision. For that package, only classic Lux has all the features. A scene exported from LuxCoreRender via the renderer’s new glTF export feature. As you say, it is mainly good for previews, because it is buggy, and overall image quality suffers (sharpness, etc.). Yes, that is the original LuxCore there in accerated mode. To use luxcore you simply select 'CPU accelerated' in the Reality render settings tab, however it is still under development and for me fails once the scene gets too big (packed with stuff), so I use luxcore for test rendering and developing a scene but once it starts giving me trouble I switch back to CPU no acceleration, which uses classic luxrender, which never fails for me and can handle as much crap as I can throw at it, and I throw loads.
LUXCORERENDER TUTORIAL INSTALL
To be clear, there is no longer a separate install required for luxrender/luxcore, they are included with the Reality install. We are LuxRender v1.x’s child and PBRT’s grandchild.The luxcore renderer is available for use in Reality and has been for a while (4.x I think).
LUXCORERENDER TUTORIAL FULL
Among all these people, LuxCoreRender started particularly thanks to all involved in the development of LuxRender v1.x, to Matt Pharr and Greg Humphreys and their excellent book and project. It would be great to have a full set of math operations comparable to Cycles Math and Vector Math nodes, so equivalent nodes can then be added to BlendLuxCore and more complex procedural textures can be ported over.
