Please read the included text file (in zip).

New features\fixes in this version:

1) You can set the material group for the LR Light.
This is done inside the "BlackBody" material.
"Default" is used if no other group is specified.

2) No more errors when creating a LuxLight material.

3) A bit more Feedback in the render dialog while exporting.

4) Removed the render output window in 3dsmax while exporting scenes.

5) Fixed the default value for Mirror shader "Film Index" spinner.
now it works much better when it's applied without adjusting it's settings.

Next release:
Full material support.

I've reverted back to previous Visual Studio and recompiled plugins like I did before.
This should fix the "cannot find module" while loading plugin.
(If there is any error while loading plugin, then let me know asap).

Time for a new release with some experimental features.
Please note that not all features works perfectly yet, some even
causes luxrender to crash.

But please note that you can easily revert back to the "presets" if needed.

This is how you use it:
Create you luxcam.
go to rendersetttings - select "custom settings" from dropdown.

Set the settings on camera. render as usual.

There is ton's of settings to keep track on in the code, and not everything works perfectly yet.
So please report back if you find things missing and\or not working.

New relase again.
Some combinations of settings can still show error message in log.
I've tested some scenes, and it does not seem to crash lux any more (that was a typo in the code).

To summarize it quickly, all these features is now included.

[Edit note]:
a couple of bugs where found, this is fixed.
(spot, point, direct) should not export if hidden.
Camera now remembers if "use environment map" is checked or not.

New release.

Important note:
If you have old scenes - please recreate your camera's - The camera object has been developed much for the past weeks,
so code has changed. Easiest way to fix this is to make your cameras once you have loaded the new plugins.

New features:
Environment map is added to the camera - you can choose mapping type too.

Added diffuse \ various colors to the materials, if you make red glossy it will be red in material editor, and the object you apply it too (viewport).
This makes it much easier to use.

Fixed various things.
Tested most materials with luxrender 0.7 - it seems to work (report back if you find errors).

Enjoy this new release, and if you do many tests and such, then please post them! I like to see what people use it for.
