LuxRender - development version
Development versions of LuxRender contain the improvements that have been made since the most recent official release, but as they are snapshots of a work in progress, certain functionality may not function.
Windows
Development versions of LuxRender for Windows are regularly posted on our forum; please check weekly CVS builds forum for the latest version.
OS X
for OS X 10.5 (Leopard) on Intel:http://www.jensverwiebe.de/Jens%20Verwiebe/temp/Lux-OSX-intel-Leopard-cvs-02-08-08.zip
for OS X 10.4 (Tiger) on Intel: http://www.jensverwiebe.de/Jens%20Verwiebe/temp/Lux-OSX-intel-Tiger-cvs-08-08-08.zip
for OS X PPC 10.4 (Tiger) on G4/G5: http://www.jensverwiebe.de/Jens%20Verwiebe/temp/lux-osx-ppc-cvs-02-08-08.zip
When using a development version of LuxRender, please make sure to use a development version of an exporter (when available), too. For further details and feedback, please visit the compilation and portability section of the forum.
LuxRender for OS X 10.4 on Intel processors has not been extensively tested yet; if you are running such a system, please report your experiences on the forum. Using the version for PowerPC should work using Rosetta, but will result in slow performance.
Linux
Binaries of development versions for Linux are not provided; please follow the instructions at Building on Linux or use a stable version instead.
