Did slg 2.0 dev stopped?

[moure]

nope i dont think so

You are just asking in the wrong thread, the right thread to ask is this one http://www.luxrender.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=6109&start=140 in which you allready posted.

Well i think dade must be on vacations lately (as most of the developers) thats why there arent any news lately

Added the new metal2 material and the Fresnelcolor Texture which you need to load in metal2 to work.
You will need a much latest Luxrender build to use it

how many seconds does needed for this to preview?

how many seconds does needed for this to preview?

something like 30sec on moure's machine.... the quality reached is system dependent... while the time is fixed.

@Moure,
would it be possible to add a start and stop button to the render preview? or to have the existing way how it works "incremental"?

[hedphelym]

stopping the render can be done by killing the console rendering process.
issue this with "hiddendoscommand" in maxscript:

Code: Select all

taskkill /IM luxconsole.exe

might be a bit problematic you are running a console render at the same time, so maybe add a note about this in the GUI.

Added an option in the material preview to set the preview render time on your own. When you set your own time the preview doesnt take into account the Quality drop down list.
Also changed the fresnelcolor name color->kr to correspond with the changes made 3 hours ago. ( Obviously i havent tested them yet )

[moure]

New settings work ok, you just need to have a luxrender build made the last day
Check a luxball with metal2 material exported with luxmax here http://www.luxrender.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&p=70716#p70716
