LuxRender Linux CVS build of 02-02-2010

[SATtva]

Good evening, Lux world! :)

Sorry again for a delay, but here are new fresh and shiny weekly builds for your testing pleasure. :D First of all, in the meantime while Dade's been bashing his head on the brightest GPGPU future of Lux, jeanphi polished the new glossy material model even more (so now it's even more glossy than ever! :)), you can see the latest results here. Next was a fix for infinitesample environment to work properly with plain world color. Also he's continuing his work on volumes, but the results aren't exposed yet, so nothing to test here, move along.

And after a long delay the new component is finally included in these builds: pylux, Python module for accessing Lux API. Lets everybody say a big "thank you" to jromang for this great piece of soft. I refer you to this thread for the gory and glory details. The only limitation currently (on my part) is that you need Python 2.6 to run it. Hopefully, for the next release CPython library will be linked statically, so we won't have to depend on a particular version installed on you system. In the same time, build archives should become smaller (jeanphi already commited the required changes, however they are not included in this release).

Additionally, libpng-1.2.42 is also linked statically since this release. Lets hope we won't see any version incompatibilities anymore.

thx sattva

I try to fire up my coffee test scene and it exitus while exporting... hmm and I don't catch output in blender terminal

EDIT: also with only writing files (w/o run lux) it just crash so it's clearly related to luxblend..
are there some major incompatibilities between v0.6.1 and v0.7 luxblend as is now?
how to keep blender terminal window alive after crash? aaah run blender from terminal dumbass lol.. gonna try

EDIT2: seems like not write any *.lxv file, geometry file seems ok since it have 200mb

[SATtva]

It clearly shouldn't crash. Psychotron, can you provide a scene file and the output from LuxBlend you have in terminal?

[psychotron]

interesting...

when I run blender and try to export it crashes hard (it writes lxs, lxm and lxo, but not lxv)

when I run terminal and execute same blender version from it then export work fine and I get also lxv file

here is output from terminal (2nd case)

Psychotron, sorry for not being precise, I meant the blend file of course. I can't try to export the already exported .lxs. :)

[psychotron]

so.. it's in your mail

[SATtva]

No, it's not. :( Can you retry to vlad.v.miller snail gmail.com?

[psychotron]

yup.. it isn't

I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

maildrop: maildir over quota.

ok check gmail now..

[SATtva]

Hehe, right, 7.7Mb is not a joke. ;)

I've tested the scene and in all cases export goes fine. Does the crash happens only with this scene or with any?
