[Render workbench} Getting it to work on Windows!

Post by MisterMaker »

While I am waiting on cycles to be available on windows I was looking into getting luxcore to work, but I ran into an issue. Of an "[LuxCore][16.797] Noise estimation: Error mean = 0" error.
I did some searching and eventually found this setting:
https://wiki.luxcorerender.org/LuxCore_ ... estimation
But I couldn't figure out what setting it should be and how I pass this parameter to luxcure, simply pasting it into the parameter box didn't work.
Maybe it is really easy but I couldn't find an answer.

Hello,
Can you attach your FreeCAD file? And also post the version of LuxCore you use? Thanks!

I am running v2.5 rc1
Added the file! Was just a test file with one cube.
Do I btw have to put anything in the group option? Because the log says 0 vertexes so I have the idea my scene is empty.
Also the log says it is empty :lol:

I have the feeling that you have not created views of your objects in your project, is that correct?
You need to create a view in your project for each object you want to use in your rendering (so the cube, the light and the camera)

Nice, congratulations!
Just out of curiosity, what is it that you made wrong?

I didn't add the cube and the light with the view function. I just added the camera, because I thought the camera is the view.
Maybe change the name "Rendering View" to "Scene Objects".
Or I have to read better ;)
