The new GUI ;-)

[Radiance]

Here's a shot of the new GUI, it's nearly finished.

You can add and remove threads on the fly,
start, pause and 'restart' the renderer,
and more to come

Nice work !...I definitively love this nuclear symbol 'blow your processor'
I will make a Linux build to show you what it looks like

[jromang]

I updated the code so that it builds again on Linux. Iit compiles (but lot of warnings : I'll fix that), lanuches, but seems not to be working : I can't see the framebuffer or anything changing in the GUI while rendering.
Joined a screenshot.

i haven't checked it in yet (the version where all the buttons work)

you should be able to see the render film display though,
but only when you use a 'multifilm' with the relevant ldr/tonemapping parameters.

change your scenefile with the infos i posted in scene file format about the new multiimage film module.

the legacy pbrt film module does'nt know about the required framebuffer and ldr tonemapping.

Finally it works

As I can see You used some of icons I made for Blender...
Maybe You'd like to have some more to be made especially for Luxrender?

[Radiance]

Hey jendrzych!,

Did you make them ?

They're really nice,
i use them in my blender config all the time

if you want to help us with some custom lux icons,
i will be happy to credit you in the 'about' of the help menu in the GUI.

That would be awesome !

If you're interested, let me know and i'll see if I can make up a list of which icons we need altogether

Greetz,
Radiance

[jendrzych]

If the fact that it would be continuation of the style of icons used so far is acceptable, I'm waiting for the list...

[Radiance]

jendrzych,

i'll mail you a list in 1-2 days...

Do you have much experience with GUI design altogether ?

[jendrzych]

To be quite honest I don't have such experiences as developing specific software GUI, but being an practicing architect and graphic design hothead I could ring true saying that I have practice with "designing interfaces for human kind" in general.
