Almost everything in the promo images was auto-converted. I think that is it for now, I can probably come up with more questions later ) Which GFX hardware modes of LuxRender (e.g. uberArea light planes, uberEnvironment as IBL lights etc.? Are lights getting transferred (if they are reasonable), e.g. I am using pwSurface2 and uberSurface2 shaders frequently in Daz Studio itself, would I be able to add Luxus information to the surfaces in such a case?
Which generic shader types of Daz Studio does Luxus support? E.g.
#LUXUS FOR DAZ STUDIO MANUAL#
Is there a (reasonable) automatic conversion of materials present, if the Luxus material information is not manually adjusted? Perhaps some render examples of automatic conversion versus manual 'tuning'? Does the Daz Studio integrated copy from/paste to surface include the Luxus information when copying and also does it apply them to materials on paste, which didn't have the Luxus information before (I assume it does, as it also preserves them on saving presets) ? I would like to know some bits if possible: With Reality I kind of dreaded this 'separate' plugin window to adjust materials - just due to the way I work with Daz Studio. The Luxus plugin seems to be more closely integrated into Daz Studio - especially due to the surface tab and scripted render tab use, which is a bit similar approach like Tofusan's LuxRenderDS plugin took (still love said plugin and missing it dearly in the higher Daz Studio versions). The settings are saved with the scene and you can save out shader and material presets to use other places. Thanks for the words and you understand Luxus.
Luxus is another tool in the box, and from initial (very short) glance a worthy one. Both settings will get saved (I am assuming!) with a scene, so no fundamental differences there. We do a lot of that in Reality, which can, in a large scene get a little confusing with all the material zones, whereas with Luxus you'll 'apply' Luxus/LuxRender material extensions to each material you deem needs it and adjust those settings. How each product deals with DAZ Studio material settings will also vary - they cannot help but do so! - and to get the best results will require modifying the settings on a per-surface basis. lxo file (which, for some things, you need to do if you want/need them when using Reality). Luxus exposes some of the inner settings of LuxRender so some things can be done without the need to hand edit the. Reality does something similar but 'hides the mechanics' under the covers. The approach taken is different, with Luxus visibly extending the Surfaces/Props tabs within DAZ Studio to allow detailed 'tinkering' with material/light definitions for LuxRender. Please, would be much appreciated the possible comments of Reality users that have also have seen or bought this Luxus and would want to share their opinions and experiences, and render examples if you want and have them.Īs they stand at the moment (I have Reality 2.5 and Luxus) they both, in gross terms, do exactly the same thing: they take the scene within DAZ Studio and submit it to LuxRender. One thing I can easily compare is the price, as Luxus cost $19.95 (today with 30% or 50% discount) and the Reality cost $59.95, so the Luxus is much cheaper, although what is important I think is how good Luxus is and although it may be much cheaper, it may be less good than Reality. So I am asking here to others that have already much experience and have used much before the Reality Engine and what they think about the new Luxus Plugin. Perhaps is too early to know the best of these two, and I do not have any experience with Reality and Lux Render So I wonder which one is better, easier and have more features and gives better quality or is chosen to work with. Luxus will automatically translate your scene to LuxRender, or you can control the translation by adding parameters specific to LuxRender in your DAZ Studio scene.īut as may probably know this is not the first one, as before there was available the Reality 2 plugin, although is the first one to be available in the DAZ store. Luxus allows you to render a DAZ Studio scene to an image using LuxRender.
