LuxRender v0.1 CVS build of 16-04-2008

[Radiance]

Hi all,

Built with VS2005 (microsoft compiler) for SSE2 architecture of CVS HEAD on 16-04-2008.

Download the DLL's to run it in a separate archive here: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=553

For use with CVS luxblend exporter vCVS1.33 here: http://cvs.savannah.nongnu.org/viewvc/* ... root=ecume
(Please report any issues with the exporter in the luxblend development forum)

UPDATES SINCE LAST WEEKLY BUILD

- ~3-5% faster and slightly better convergence
- reenabled .IGI file format output for use with violet tonemapper.
- higher resolution base RGB -> spectrum curves for lightsources and reflectances
- corrected whitepoint for area lights (white is now white)
- fix for inverted normals if mesh object has negative scale (by ratow)

Have fun!,
Radiance

Hi,

Thanks a lot for having reenabled .IGI output.
I have a problem that I hoped to see fixed with your Spectrum code cleanup, but I still have it:
When I render with an infinite white environment, the background is pink, not white.
Any idea?

[Radiance]

yeah,

i mentioned above "for arealights" (eg mesh emitters)

i still need to implement the new frontend for all lightsources and some new scenefile syntax for blackbody etc,
will be in the next weekly build

Hi, radiance!

I had some problems with latest luxblend exporter, when I press the render or preview bottom Luxrender say to me: INVALID SCENEFILE!... What's the problem?
In the console I have theese messages:

ERROR 14: static loader of sampler 'erpt' failed.
ERROR 14: static loader of surface integrator 'mltpath' failed.
SEVERE ERROR 14: Unable to create scene due to missing plug-ins
Statistics
SEVERE ERROR 4: Skipping invalid scenefile 'preview.lxs'

help me please...

Sooo...when do we get these CVS builds for Mac?

/Though I feel like such a leecher for asking and not being able to compile them myself.

[Radiance]

Hi,

I don't think you're using the right exporter,
as 'mltpath' was removed a couple of weeks ago (both luxrender and the luxblend exporter in CVS)

Did you install the new one correctly ?

Don't forget to select a preset configuration (take the 'recommended' one)

aden -> I don't have a Mac

For mac builds, we're focussing on getting propperly working ones for RC releases only at the moment...

Greetz,

I used the python script at this link:

http://cvs.savannah.nongnu.org/viewvc/* ... root=ecume

and the DLLs posted in this topic...
Maybe that this build works "only" with SSE2???? OK, I'm stupid, I'll try with an other one...

[Radiance]

it's very weird,
there's no 'mltpath' in the exporter...

it was removed a couple of weeks ago,
are you sure you installed it correctly and aren't using by accident an old exporter ?

and yes, the build is for SSE2 only. what CPU do you have ?

radiance

[dancing_in_the_smoke]

Yes I'm sure about the luxblend exporter, and I think the problem is the CPU, becouse I have a single core AMD Athlon.
What CVS I can use with no problems?
