LuxCoreRender v2.x
The plan for LuxRender v2.0 has been defined during the 2013 summer and one of the major components is a new LuxRender C++ and Python API. The old C API suffers of many limitations when it comes to modern features like dynamic scene editing and interactive rendering so it has been decided to write a completely new API instead of improving the old one. LuxCore is the name of the new C++/Python API. It offers all the features shown by SLG (aka SmallLuxGPU) in the past (in terms of dynamic camera, textures, materials, objects, etc. editing) and more.
During the 2017 winter, LuxCoreRender v2.0 was defined as a LuxCore API focused render package, dropping any old code related to LuxRender v1.x. A new web site, forum, wiki, Blender exported, etc. were developed in order mark a new fresh project re-start.
Lux(Core)Render is a 10+ year old opensource project.
