LUXUS FOR CARRARA - Initial Experiments

makma

Famous free scan of a head was a real challenge to me. The problem I was tweaking for long was glossiness map that has given a lot of strange effects together with glossy transmission material settings. Additional; back lightning was set up essentially to light through an ear. I took a lot of trial renderings to find how to correct the glossines map a bit and I am not happy with it still. Maybe next time.

The cube is 5x5x5 and the following table shows the effect of varying sized planes set at a top distance of 12...

Size: 12x12	Size: 6x6	Size: 3x3
Size: 1.5x1.5	Size: 0.75x0.75	Size: 0.375x0.375

IES Files:

Lights can be further affected by IES (a good supply can be found here.)

Size: 3x3 IES: Corelite DIVIDE RECESSD LED 3000K DRI-WD-1L30-UNV-22-T1-STD

Size: 3x3 IES: Corelite Z3 RECESSD LED 3000K CCT Z3-WD-1L30-LD5-UNV-22

Size: 3x3 IES: Corelite R3 RECESSD FLUORESCENT R3-WB-1T8-2X2

NOTE:

1. The shader on the cube is a LUX Materials Mix shader comprising of a GlossyCoating over a Lux NULL Material mixed with a plane Matte, all controlled by a greyscale texture map.
2. When using LUX Materials Mix, make sure that you are mising two different types; I found mixing between two Mattes produced a dull grey image...

THANK YOU

LuxCoreRender v 2.2 is ready to use. It has na amazing set of features.

Standalone release is available for plugin development too... The one for Blender 2.8 is ready for download now.

Would be happy with new LuxusCore plugin for Carrara. Am I only dreaming?
