| - | **OpenCL** | ||
| - | |||
| - | <WRAP indent> | ||

| - | **Big** | ||
| - | |||
| - | <WRAP indent> | ||
| - | Luxrender is a serious, professional renderer. If you're just learning how to model or light, it might be overkill as an initial rendering setup. | ||

| - | **OpenCL/CUDA** | ||
| - | |||
| - | <WRAP indent> | ||

| - | ===== Install ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Installing Luxrender broadly requires, like other renderers, the installation of the Luxrender base package, and then the plugin that will make it useful in your application of choice (probably [[blender]]). | ||
| - | |||
| - | To get the basic Luxrender package installed, first install its dependencies; all of them are available from [[http://slackbuilds.org]] but some (like OpenCL) are optional. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Once the dependencies are installed, install Luxrender from [[http://slackbuilds.org]]. This also installs the Blender package. | ||
