LuxCore plugged into 3D Coat would be an immense addition to 3D Coat

[L'Ancien Regime]

 

 

It's a fully developed professional studio quality render engine that rivals and even surpasses Maxwell Render and Octane render in many areas. All it would take is to set it up so it's embedded in 3D Coat, part of it's fabric. Yes I know it comes in Blender. But many of us can't stand working in the Blender UI (no I'm not up for memorizing another immense set of hotkeys). Yes there's stand alone LuxCore but it's free, it's the best and   it solves the current problems of 3D Coat render room by  having all the necessary lighting tools in it. It's a studio of the best lighting tools you can find anywhere. (Save time and just vibe code it in Grok or Alembic Claude Opus 4.6?)

Yep, I'm on board with implementing third party render engine or reworking built in one, but... only if it will go along with current shader/smart material system inside 3DCoat. I really don't want to recreate/rebuild my vast library of shaders/smart materials.

LuxCore produces such sublimely beautiful results...not fakery, but authentic mathematically, physically correct caustics, even unto the materials of the refractive transparent materials that vary according to their scientifically measured chemical substances indices.
