LUXCORERENDER API HOW TO
LUXCORERENDER API INSTALL

Later when render is finished we can then play with the intensity of the light-groups. When adding a light to the scene we can assign a light to a particular light-group.

In the Scene Tab we can create Light-groups.

Also Clipping plane and Depth of field are available. This contains settings like: ToneMapper, Bloom, Mist, Vignetting, Color Aberration, Background image, Analog Film Simulation and Irradiance Contour Lines.

Scrolling down, you will find settings called: Image Pipeline.

Take a look at the interesting settings for Camera as well under Properties Panel > Camera Settings.

LuxCore has it’s own material Node Tree called: Luxcore Material Nodes.

I managed it to render without a visit to the documentation because of this.

LuxCore render has some good ToolTips with good explanations what each setting does.

There you can set the samples, or you can set other conditions, like based on time or based on noise. You can find such a setting under: Properties Panel > Render Tab > LuxCore Halt Conditions.

You might wonder how to set the amount of samples for rendering.

(Scroll down in the Render TAB to LuxCore Viewport Settings.

Set also OpenCL for rendering in the viewport.

If you used to render on Graphics card, in Properties Panel > Render Settings, you set: Device: OpenCL.

Note: there is an explanation in the comments below about OpenCL and CUDA! This in case you think “No my system doesn’t work with OpenCL”, then don’t worry to much.

Luxcore seems to use the term OpenCL for AMD as well as NVIDEA (cuda).

So, you will see changes in the Render Settings, Camera Tab, Shader Editor and light settings. What is not included in Render Engines usually is the tools to create and model mesh in 3D space.

Namely, most render engines have their own materials, own light setting, camera settings and of course render settings. This, in case you didn’t try other render-engines in the past.

It could take some time to realize settings are for Blender and what settings in Blender for the Render Engine. How to use the BlendLuxCore addonĪctually the BlendLuxeCore addon is pretty straight forward. The Luxcore render has some features that Cycles doesn’t have. The Luxcore render might not that integrated in Blender as Cycles is, but it seems to be a very good render engine.
