This is the second part of my obervations on luxrender made during my last project.
This is the area where I spent most of my time in getting the blender scene transferred to lux. The material system is quite different from blender’s and I had to try various approaches to get the look I had in mind. This process is by far not finished, as I am currently just scraping at the surface. But some general findings can be shared.
As previously announced, here is my report on the use of luxrender during my project ‘The other day in the forest’.
This is more a description of the things noticed and done during the process than a real tutorial. I have come to recognize, that I still have a lot lot to learn and explore before I am entitled to do a real howto/tutorial.
Using the forest project, I will try to highlight some of the areas and give some general thoughts and examples.
At the time of this writing I a referring to the actual CVS version both of luxrender and luxblend, which will closely resemble the upcoming 0.6 release.
So lets start with some introductory statements.
I just finished my project to learn the different workflows using blender or luxrender.
The blend files including the textures (low res version as the high res would take ~60MB) are available from my showroom.
A document describing all the things learned and encountered during this project will follow soon.
