LuxCoreRender 2.2 Beta 1

E’ stata rilasciata la versione Beta 1 di LuxCoreRender 2.2 e di  BlendLuxCore, l’add-on per Blender 3D. Questa release include nuove funzionalità e corregge alcuni bachi del software.

 

New Features

• Saving/resuming the rendering now includes all PhotonGI cache information and entries
• Added the support for new shape “group”
• Added the support for nested groups to LXS parser
• Added the support for persistent PhotonGI cache on file
• Added the support for using persistent PhotonGI cache across multiple frames for fly-through animations
• DLSC now automatically estimated the best radius if lightstrategy.entry.radius is set to 0.0
• New improved Random/Sobol sampler adaptive code
• LXS parser now supports halttime and haltspp film halt conditions
• LXS parser now supports volumes
• Shadow catcher is now easier to use with multiple light sources of any type

 

Fixed Bugs

• Fixed a crash when using negative material emission values (issue #177)
• Fixed LXS parsing in pyluxcoretools
• Fixed a problem when mixing transparent and solid materials with Mix (issue #183)
• Fix a bug when using glossy coating with any specular material
• Fixed LXS parsing of point light source position
• Fixed object ID not being saved by FILESAVER engine
• Fixed a major bug in carpaint material (issue #186)
• Fixed spelling mistake in cloth material “wool gabardine” preset
• Fixed Scene::RemoveUnusedMeshes()
• Fixed a bug in Mix material when working with specular materials (issue #187)
• Fixed an overflow problem when using an heterogenous volume on very large segments
• Sun relative size has now a lower bound of 1.0 to avoid numerical precision problems
• Fixed a problem with Scene::ToProperties() after editing a scene
• Fixed a self-shadow problem with area light sources

 

Blender Addon

New Features since v2.2alpha1

• Add a Vector Math node
• User can now set a custom object ID
• User can now choose a custom viewport color for materials (used in the OpenGL viewport, optional)
• make volume socket export of material output more generic. This means users can now directly plug volumes into the interior/exterior volume sockets, without the need for a pointer node.
• expose volume nodes in material node tree add menu
• add new “colored glass” node preset with inlined volume for simple glasses with volumetric absorption
• add a filter to the pointer node selection menu (so the user can list only materials, only volumes etc.)
• Expose uvmapping3d (available in the 3D mapping node, can be used to map procedural 3D textures with a UV mapping)
• add a debug option to print config and scene properties (in hidden debug menu, search for “Toggle LuxCore Debug Options” in Blender’s operator search)
• expose storage property of background image to allow higher precision if necessary
• show button to select problematic object in error log
• implement a workaround to have “delete and reconnect” functionality in the node editor
• add support for improved adaptive sampling, as well as the new NOISE AOV
• add support for automatic radius estimation of DLSC
• add shadow catcher option to only consider shadows from infinite lights (sky, HDRI, flat background color)
