Luxbox - cornell box based test suite for Luxrender

[psychotron]

Hello,

I made this free test suite for end users of Luxrender (maybe devs can use it too but I think they have own test scenes)
it's based on cornell box with lot of goodies to stage in it... like boxes, more boxes, spheres, torus... monkey, doodles... prism (crappy one... can somebody check and help please?) and of course a colorchecker too
oh and there are 5 different cornell boxes too... (indoor, outdoor)

there is a documentation in blend file so download and read to know where is what

download here: http://www.mediafire.com/?m4hfmkwmm0y

please leave C&C... maybe we could made something official from this!

Looking nice. Thanks!

Can this also be used to compare speeds between different CPU's?

[psychotron]

Poncho you are welcome...
I think yes, it can be used for cpu speed test too..

Cheers for the blend.
I've used it for my very first luxrender

This took 3h20minutes on a P4 2.8Ghz (1meg of RAM)

Hmm.. Not all the layers are working for me?
When I attempt to render say, the water layer, I get

ValueError: list.index(x): x not in list

in the console window (after a lot of export stuff)

This is my first time using luxrender so it might be human error here. Anydody got any ideas?

[Bliz]

ok, if I toggle 'clay' rendering on the scene renders. So it must be a material thing.
I'll need to read the wiki all the way through then....

What you can do is use the covert all blender materials button in the system page in luxblend tho I think that might overwrite any materials you do have defined.

This error is happening during export right?

Do you have any modifiers on the objects? etc.

Looks like a nice render so far though

Hi Bliz, you are welcome...
I try it right now and all layers are working for me.. but I don't try forced lux_clayMat rendering
this is dedicated test suite for luxrender so all materials are already setup properly in luxblend so you didn't need to convert any blender materials (and if you wanna change some lux materials make it in luxblend too)
read documentation in .blend file

Hey psychotron,
I worked out the problem. I was using the 'stable' releases of Lux and Luxblend. Now I've got the latest cvs versions your scene works a treat.

To me, that 'water box' looks erroneous. You should include the front face of the water, or some sort of glass front wall through which to observe the water
