Quote - It is working for me also on Poser Pro 2010.
What i do wish for in Luxrender, is a way to easily see what rendering algorthm is actually being used. I may have got that confused with something else, but I see that Luxrender defaults to Metropolis, though it supports other methods. I chose a different method in the Luxpose GUI, exported, and did a render. I didn't see anything different. Is there something i am missing?
The Sampler (Metropolis) has less impact than the Integrator (Bidirectional, etc.).
In theory, all of these should produce the same or very similar final outcome, except for the "Direct Lighting" integrator which doesn't do global illumination (bounced light). They differ in how fast they will converge to the "correct" image in different situations.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
