There is a new repository on GitHub, which purpose it is to use the multi-exporter for Blender and check in (and tweak) various scenes step by step.
-
Provide Radiance scene (.rad files) as reference
-
Import Radiance files into Blender and optimize it before saving .blend files
-
Export to various file formats using the multi-exporter add-on.
-
Use the estimate settings button of Luxrender (.lxs files) to find good camera settings for Maxwell.
-
Render a reference image with Maxwell (.mxs files), probably separating several light sources to see their individual impact on the final image.
-
Tweak the Arnold .ass files step by step following the noise workflow and looking at the AOVs (AOV = arbitrary output variable).
-
Check in the resulting images (into a img sub-folder) and comment on the renderer version and the render time.
Posts about individual scenes will follow soon …
