Also, 1920x1080? Dream bigger, let's go for 2560x1400.

In that case I'd suggest 2560x1440, although 2560x1600 might be nicer for the lucky ones who still work on 16:10.

Whoops, meant 1440, typo.

You forgot to include the IES file itself.

oh yeah that would help... it is zipped up with the blend file though

Here's a tweaked version of the lxs file. Changes are as follows:

-Resolution changed to 2560x1440
-EXR Output enabled, in case we want to go all HDR on this later
-Write intervals increased to something that won't drag the render down with 4 megapixel images (1 hour for FLM, 30 minutes of EXR/PNG)
-IES path is now relative, it will look for it in the same directory as the lxs
-Write FLM direct is disabled, this will increase RAM use, you might want to re-enable it if you have problems


Are we good to render this one?

(drop the folder from the initial scene .rar and the IES file in the same directory as this .lxs)



EDIT: Everyone render with latest weekly/trunk/1.0RC1, ok?

Thanks J, i'm on it. Lux process is ludicrous 250 Mb.

Is that something luxblend should do? Maybe mines a bit broken like the rest of my laptop?

It's not a problem, you can simply put all resource files in the same directory as LXS file -- if Lux can't find a file in the specified location, it tries to look for it in the scene dir.

I thought about trying that when i was packing it up earlier.. but in the midst of trying everthing else i didnt actually get round to doing it though.

Here's my first 1kS/p. I'll render it some more tomorrow.

Quick tonemapping test with luminance (about 250spp, scaled down after tonemapping):
