This is very useful. Thanks a lot. I hope you will do one on Yafaray.
hey, i watched this tut some time back it is great and i love luxrender but i have a few questions:
-how do i save the image to a certain place (file)
-how do i make textures that i have taken from the net work, because i tried to get a wooden texture but i cannot fully figure out how to apply it to the mesh
thanks
This tutorial is very nice , I was checking out blender.org ‘s gallery and some images were rendered with different programs/ray tracers . I think Luxrender would be a great start for me , since you mention it ,I do take the recommendation .
thank you for the tutorial .
In the output tab in lux change the tmp file to what you need. Uv map the texture as you would normally do in blender except once you switch over(if your not already in lux) in the texture tab under Luxrender type choose use blender texture make sure to choose your mapped image and then in the materials tab pick your finish i usually put it under diffuse hit the texture button and pick your texture and voila
Great Tutorials Jonathan. Thank you so much for great clear and easy to follow presentations.
I had so much drama with Luxrender engine installation in Mac but I have found an issue that many of users do ( Just like I did).
Just for the sake of so much pain, I might post it with you here – the painless way of getting the Lux render on mac.
First LuxRender runs on all recent computers running OS X 10.5 (Leopard) or 10.6 (Snow Leopard). The program does not run on older computers using a G4 or G5 processor or on OSX 10.4 or lower.
Installation requirement on 10.7.
First -as a pre-requisite for Mac users, The easiest and painless way to install LuxRender (v1.0RC2) is to download Standalone Lux Render engine from
http://www.luxrender.net/en_GB/standalone
Once you download standalone version ,all your add ons for blender are included in the dmg package.
Run and Install the standalone dmg, and drag all Blender add ons to the Lux folder in Applications folder where your Lux Render engine is located.
From blender ( User pref panel) locate the file ” Lux_Blender 2.6 Zip” file and install – Once installed – Enable it and that is it.
Man after so much pain so easy done.
Cheers
Hello, Jonathan
