LuXSI

[Radiance]

Cool,

let us know if you need any assistance or have any problems.

the v0.1 release will probably be extended into next week due to all our hosting issues,
i've lost a lot of time on it.
i'll put the rc2 or rc3 on the download page on friday though.

Thnx!,
Radiance

I think I managed to get the right order now

(don't look at the time. I had the windows version running in a VirtualMachine on my Linux computer to test it with the RC2, was before the linux version was out)

I will upload a test version later!

sweet

what was the issue ? converting quads to tris ?

thanks for uploading, but we're gonna need some XSI users to test it
i don't know if there's any other XSI users here (yet!)...

you might have to bring some friends...
or do a post in an XSI forum.

Keep it up!,

Somebody posted a link in a german XSI forum (xsiforum.de) that's how I found Lux

The problem was that the XSI index numbers are different from the numbers I have to export. But I found that I have to deal with the Node index numbers and not the vertex index numbers (a 6 point poly has only 6 vertex-indices but 8 node-indices like I have to use for Lux). At the end I just have to assign the right vertex to the right node number and I was done

Hope the XSI folk will post some examples. The render is still very basic (e.g. no textures yet) but it exports objects and a base material.

cool,

you'll see that with unbiased renderers you don't necessarily need much (or any at all) textures for nice renders.
altough it's sureley needed

Download Version 0.1 of LuXSI
for Windows (32bit, XSI 5.11) and Linux (32bit, XSI 6.02)

Will release it with source-code when I have time to make some comments and fix some bugs

Nice work Miga !!
If you want to release it under GPL, we could integrate LuXSI directly in Lux

[miga]

Just implemented meshlights:


On my todo-list for the next release:
* spotlight
* more options in the plug-in (threads, tonemapping, sampling)
* more materials
* perhaps textures
* bug fixing

Nice to see LuXSI growing

Hey,

the alpha9 blender exporter and RC3 release to be here hopefully sunday will be much more advanced regarding mesh emitters, lights and textures.

i suggest you study it's output, should'nt be too hard to implement it

good work, but i think we'll need more XSI users.
have you seen any people interrested in using/testing it in other XSI forums ?
