Pylux Windows Weeklies 2010/Aug/26

[dougal2]

Find attached Pylux binaries for windows. This contains LuxRender code as of today in a binary python module.

In each archive there are 2 versions, one for Python 2 and the other for Python 3.

If you want to use Pylux with LuxBlend25, you need the Python3 version, and it needs to go in <blender dir>\2.5X\scripts\addons\luxrender\

Make sure you use the correct version for your blender build. 32bit blender -> 32bit pylux, and 64bit Blender -> 64bit pylux.

Have fun !

Since you are posting weeklies, perhaps a current luxblend25 plus the ef folder would be good as well.

Soon... there seem to be a few platform inconsistencies to iron out first, and a few key features to finish. Perhaps next week I might post another Beta release.

I also should have mentioned in the top post that there are API docs for pylux here: http://www.luxrender.net/static/pylux

I've put the 64-bit Python3 binary into 2.53\scripts\addons\luxrender\ but I still receive this: "WARNING: LuxFire/Pyro library not available". I've also tried the \scripts\io\luxrender\ directory and it still won't work. Any ideas?

Luxfire is a different addon module that isn't finished yet. You should have seen a message like 'using pylux version 0.7' if the installation was successful.

Sorry, I meant to say that I got this message: 'WARNING: Binary pylux module not available! Visit htt
p://www.luxrender.net/ to obtain one for your system'. I've tried putting the correct version of pylux.pyd into every directory I could think of but it still refuses to work.

Underneath that message should be another that shows the real reason why pylux cannot be loaded. Can you please post the full console output?

Hi everyone!
I have the same problem:
when I start lender:

Still Luxrender can be run, but when I press F12:

and the render window is black.
Pressing F12 again opens Luxrender and the scene seems to be ok.
I'm running Blender 2.53 r31748 on WinXP 32-bit.

Here's the output, using my own 64-bit build of Blender:

I'm using the python3 version in blender 2.5 for win32. I wasn't able to get it to work by putting it under addons. When I put the pylux.pyd under <blender dir>\2.5X\scripts\io\luxrender\ it worked. Here's the output on launch:
