Build targets

LuxCore is made of several targets:

<TODO: Show it as a graph when Diagrams extension is enabled>

Dependencies

Libraries:

LuxCore Python Wheels

Samples

Plugins - BlendLuxCore - <app plugins>

Pyluxcoretools

LuxCore dependencies are built by LuxCoreDeps.

The process is:

LuxCoreDeps populates a Conan cache by building each of the required dependencies from its sources.
This cache is published in LuxCoreDeps releases.
On LuxCore side, during the build, the cache is retrieved from the release and made available (restored) for LuxCore build.

LuxCoreDeps is intended to be run by Github CI/CD pipeline.

You will find all workflows in repository actions.:

LuxCore Dependency Builder: build dependencies, triggered on-demand
LuxCore Dependency Checker: test dependency build, triggered by push (call Builder)
LuxCore Dependency Releaser: publish release of dependencies

In a typical workflow: Testing: Releasing

Local build is
