🧵 Refreshing my memory of how LuxCoreRender works, I made a weathered version of the mech head I recently made in SDF Modeler. 🤖

Another rendering with #LuxCore in #Blender. This applies #Caustics to the bottom of a pool and records the animation of the Ocean physics.

I wanted to record it from above, but I couldn't figure out how to get the light paths to show through the surface of the water.

Playing with #LuxCore caustics and volumetric scattering. I have no idea what I'm doing, but the effect is really interesting. I'm planning on doing a water-heavy scene in the future, so I might have to mess with LuxCore soon. It having its own full set of materials and lighting makes it feel very foreign to work with, but the effects look so much better than Cycles when it comes to caustics and volumes. I wonder how well it works with things like fire (I have no idea how you'd introduce things like the heat attribute into the LuxCore material panels for setting up emission correctly, for instance).

@DeltaWye when I realized #blender could do this, I started looking at what others in the #optomechanical persuasion were doing with it. It's the render engine #luxcore that's like 80% of this. I found that people had even tried successfully to simulate a camera lens projecting an actual image created from rat tracing. I would love for luxcore to have a simple ray tracer in addition to than a fog tracer. That would be easier on the computer.

Last time I used #blender to give me a good idea of what was happening optically. Using #luxcore, one can render the beam path from the lens to the subject to get some amazing looking and useful images. You know, to engineer the shit out of the optical path.

@djnavarro 3 years ago i tried to transfer the rainbow colors to path of a Lorenz attractor. Geometry and colors are calculated in Lisp. Only a few turns of the trace. Rendered with Blender and LuxCore.

@dosch you might also want to check on these awesome engineering and art programs:

#blender
#luxcore
#prepomax
#GMSH
#CAElinux
#Salomemecha
#meshlab
#openfoam
#alicevision #Meshroom

If you haven't touch these and you're an engineer or designer, man, you're missing out big time.

Lo-fi wallpaper I made with #Blender and #Luxcore

A small collection of surreal digital art I made with #Blender + #Luxcore
I call them, “the 5 faces of vainness” (5th image in replies, I cannot upload 5 files in one toot).
