i thought that luxrender is a fast raytracer with simple coding.
now i have a feeling that guys who have no idea what they are doing just made a monte carlo raytracer for free.
if only bagginsbill would work on this cde for 6 monts(for a paycheck). we would be in heaven.
Here's the thing ice-boy. Lux is unbiased. I'm probably not the one to go into the technical details of that (I'll give the floor to BB on that one), but unbiased is slow. That's just the way it is. All unbiased render engines that don't make use of the GPU are slow. And until Lux does (it's in the works), it will be slow. It will probably be somewhat slow even after it makes use of the GPU, just not AS slow...lol.
