  1. Hey i checked your work in Luxrender Forum and i am thinking of somehow intergrating your work in Luxmax(The exporter from 3ds max).
    I searched your site but i cant find any documentation or tutorial on how ARLuxrender works.To tell you the truth i cant even install it right.(Im not used to blender 2.56)Could you point to some documentation tutorial or a simple how to to get a general idea of your work?
    Thanks for your hard work!

  4. Hi Muhammad,

    ARLux is composed by 2 complementary parts:

    ARluxblend25: a plugin for blender used for export the scene to luxrender format.
    ARluxrender: a modified version of luxrender render, that can handle photorealistic augmented reality rendering.

    You need both of them for model your augmented scene in Blender and then export it and render using ARluxrender.

    You can use ARLuxrender in two diferent ways:

    1- For place and rendering synthetic object inside photographs, see Arluxrender
    2- For place and rendering synthetic objects inside a full 360 hdr panorama, see Blender Conference (STRONG Recomended to see this page)


    If you want use the method 1:

    - Look this video: using a background photograph + environment light:
    Vimeo video
    - in Arluxrender talks look my talk slides (In spanish, but very graphic).
    - For working with photographs as background, you need to calibrate the camera position of the photograph( in other words, you need to recover the camera position and camera parameters to use this parameters in your blender model). For this you can use the calibration program in the downloads section.

    If you want use the method 2:

    - You need an aditional plugin for blender, IBL Toolkit, used for calibrate your panorama and model the environment scene. See the comments of my partner Dalai Felinto,
    IBL Toolkit: see DalaiFelinto.com and IBL Toolkit


    Here you can download the source code of Arluxblend and ARLuxrender. (The ARluxrender compilation is in the same way as Luxrender, and you can found information about Luxrender at Luxrender wiki).
