LuxRender 0.9-dev Windows build of 24-10-2011

[Lord Crc]

Getting back into my groove here with some new builds.

Not a whole lot new to report though Queue looping has been fixed, shortcut to toggle side panel has been changed and the new layered material has gotten some fixes, though is still very much under development.

If you use Blender 2.5x, be sure to grab a fresh copy of luxblend25 here: https://bitbucket.org/luxrender/luxblend25/get/tip.zip

These builds contain LuxRender, LuxConsole, LuxMerger, Pylux for Python3 (only) and LuxBlend (for 2.49).
The NoOpenCL builds does not require any OpenCL driver or capabilities, but also does not use the GPU for the "hybrid" renderer.

Thank you very much for the new build .

.... I missed something. I'm going to go find more info about this "new layered material" and then I'm going to go do a happy dance.

[spectral fusion]

Awesome news.

[weltbesiedler]

Can you tell us some plans for the future? Are there some great changes in a couple of weeks?

Unfortunately most of the core devs, like myself, have been quite busy with jobs/studies lately, and will be for some time it seems. That said, things do chug along Mostly we're working on improving SPPM and hybrid bidir, and improving the two new materials (glossycoating and layered).

I encourage all to use our bug tracker to submit feature requests and issues, and feel free to bump them if there hasn't been any reply for some time.

You'll regret these words.
