Works for me, installed the latest version linked above and tested with the simple demo scene for LuxusCore.

I installed the latest LuxCore into Extensions... Carrara starts with popup :LuxusCore.mcx failed to load ! "

Remove the 3 files from Extensions, Carrara starts normally.

Downloaded LuxMark 3.1 from the link in the manual.  http://www.luxrender.net/wiki/LuxMark#Binaries

It says you also needed to install VisualStudio 2013 C++ runtime => https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=40784 (link doesn't work, page not found)

I try running luxmark.exe anyway... popup :THe program can't start because OpenCL.dll is missing from your computer.  Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem."

Found this link to vcredist_x64  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11056812/where-to-download-vcredist ... that link also fails.  Links to the 2015 runtime also fail.

Progress 0

Ah, the links to the Microsoft VS C++ runtime are back online today.  Got and installed it.  Ran LuxMark 3.1.

Its still giving me the "THe program can't start because OpenCL.dll is missing from your computer.  Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem."

Running W10 64b here..  I'm not seeing an OpenCL download but there's discussion threads about OpenCL.dll getting corrupted on NVidia systems.

Still a bit lost.

Try updating your video drivers. I know it was installed when I installed my video drivers. I made sure to select the open CL driver package for my AMD cards.

TY... I just installed Nvidia 364.72.  Bingo.  LuxMark works, Carrara IPR works. 

Now I guess there's the uphill climb to figure out how to get my Shaders working.

Hi, i installed luxmar, and i executed the program. How but i connect with carrara?

Arisguard

ok i installed the lastes luxcore. Now it works:) But i would know how connect luxmark with carrara

In the carrara render room you need to change the renderer to LUXCORE

then when you render it will utilize the Luxcore render engine.
