Luxus plugin not found

Alpha01

Hi
I just installed Luxus last night and I cant get it to work.

I installed the 64bit (as I am running the 64bit daz) the installation went fine, I can see it in the drop down window of the render engine selection.
I can also see the lightening and shaders for it, But when I try to render with it, it says......

"LuxRender application not found, click OK to setup path to LuxRender folder"

I have looked and looked and cannot find a folder for it, but I do see in the plugins folder the Luxus.dll

What am I doing wrong?

Cheers Adrian

Luxus is a plugin for DAZ Studio, which allows you to render using the (free) Luxrender render engine.

You must download and install Luxrender, and then tell Luxus where you have installed it to. Don't you have the PDF file for Luxus, there are links there to Luxrender, although Google should find it easy enough.

You need to download LuxRender itself and install it (http://www.luxrender.net/en_GB/standalone#windows if you're on Windows, pick "non-OpeCL" if you are in doubt of the version you need; pick OpenCL if you have a recent ATI/AMD or nVidia card). Then, in the Advanced tab of render settings of DAZ Studio you need to select as Render Engine, LuxRender via Luxus. The first drop-down after that will be the folder containing the LuxRender executable (note that the exe file doesn't show, or it didn't on the release file anyway; you just need the folder anyway).

Awesome thanks
I knew I was doing something wrong.

The readme file popped up in explorer then got closed by accident when I logged out.
The read me file in the program files reported 404, so I was unable to read any of the setup.

I am running....
AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1100T 3.43Ghz
16Gb corsair 1600hz
ASUS HD6990 dual GPU
ASUS formula V motherboard

So I am hoping the OpenCL should work sweet.

Thanks for the link ReDave, much appreciated.
