Thanx, kawecki. 

Thank you.

I use PropViewer all the time. A new version is always welcome, thanks. I have no plans to use LuxRender, but I'll check it out all the same.

PropViewer is a must have in my toolbox, thank you for this new version!

Thank You

Thanks so much,kawecki.

This uses sse2 so it wont work on my computer. :sad:

Quote - This uses sse2 so it wont work on my computer.

Damn, I never thought that it would be a problem, any some years old computer has SSE2.
In only one part of the software I use a SSE2 routine that has a tiny advantage over the previous SSE that still exist commented, I forgot to compile and put back the older SSE routine.
SSE2 in theory looks great, but in practice have very little advantage, if any, over the classic SSE/MMX..

I wanted to use it to try luxrender but I ended up having to use blender for that, blender is not the best program to use with luxrender.

I can compile a version without SSE2 and send you by email.

That would be great, thank you.

Well, five minutes work and I have updated the product.
Now when PropViewer starts it will check for MMX, SSE and SSE2.

• For older coputers without MMX and SSE (before Athlon XP or Pentium III) nothing can be done.
  PropViewer will display a message and then quit.

• For not so old computers without SSE2 (before Athlon AMD64 or Pentium IV) propViewer will use
    a SSE subroutine with very little difference in speed.

• For new computers that have SSE2 PropViewer will use the SSE2 subroutine.

For whom has old computers and PropViewer refused to run, just download it again from the link above.

And for people that has downloaded and PropViewer is working, you can keep what you have, the new version will not make any difference.

The program works fine, now, thank you.

The luxrender exporter:  Luxrender asks for a .FLM file and not a .lxs one.

It ask for a flm when you want to resume a rendering.
If you want to start a new render select Open under the file menu and then load the lxs.
When you want to save a render then stop the rendering, chose "save flm" and save it with the extension flm and not as lxs as LuxRender prompts (a bug).
To resume the rendering select "resume flm" then load the scene file (lxs) and next the saved flm and LuxRender will continue to render for more hours.....

Thank you.

Is there any way to optimize an object so that the camera is pointing at it, or is there an easy way to edit the camera information for the luxrender?
 

It is easy to edit the camera.
Open the lxs with a text editor and you will find something like that:

LookAt -0.300000 -1.5000 0.6000
       0.000000 0.00000 0.4000
       0.000000 0.00000 1.00000

The first line is the camera location
The second line is where the camera points
The third line you can leave as it is.

Remember that the coordinates system is different, you must read

(left -, right +), (front -, back +), (up +, down -)
So the first line you read that the camera is at 0.3 to the left, 1.5 at the front and 0.8 up.

Great, thank you.

I have one last question, in luxrender how is a surface made non reflective?

With glossy materials turn the specular value to zero or use a matte material instead.

Thank you.
