i loaded your file, enabled luxrender, and pressed f12. renders correctly.

8

It looks like Blender is only loading half the file back in. Does it show up ok in the LuxRender GUI?

9

No… It shows very same result in Luxrender GUI (that is if GUI means the
Luxrender standalone and not through blender)

just noticed… it is effecting all polygons… see here… http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5293/5587171314_5ca5192b66.jpg
and it is same on laptop and desktop… i have reinstalled everything… help

It looks like you’re using a pretty old version of LuxRender, upgrading to the most recent weekly build should help.

Thanks…Will try…but I only downloaded Luxrender yesterday… I think it is latest… Would that cause it.? It seems to
Be workin fine… Cept for this problem… But I will try… What version do u recommend? And will the graphicall exporter work anyway?

13

By the way… This is on luxblend wiki page …

Please note that you will need to use an up-to-date copy of Blender 2.5x., Blender 2.5.6 will not work!

I cannot find a download for 2.5x, only for 2.49 and 2.56 … Where can I find 2.5x?
Thanks a lot for help… We gettin there!!!:slight_smile:

14

download a build from graphicall.org that includes luxrender. possible for you?

15

Thanks… But…That is what I am using at moment…

16

which build?

17

Is there any possibility that the graphicall build is not compatible
With the version of Luxrender that I downloaded… Am I right in sayin
That the graphicall build only includes the exporter and ya have to download Luxrender separately…?

18

Sorry nico… I will check that for ya… Not at pc right now…

19

Blender 2.56a (trunk) rev35453 32bit + patches + contrib & external add-ons + API Doc

That the one nico…

Exactly! You still have to get a recent LuxRender version from luxrender.net.
