  • Visit the download page and download the zip archive for your platform.
  • Follow the Blender Manual (open user preferences, choose "install from file", select the downloaded .zip archive, click open, enable the addon in the list)
  • If you have old LuxRender addon enabled and have troubles activating new LuxCore addon, it would be a good idea to disable LuxRender addon first, save Blender user settings, restart Blender and then try again.

Note: the BlendLuxCore addon is fully self-contained and brings all necessary LuxCore binaries. You do not need to install the standalone version of LuxCore.

How to Update

Open the Blender user preferences (Ctrl+Alt+U), then enter "luxcore" into the search field and expand the entry so you see all the info and settings of the addon.

Click OK to start the update process.

Blender will appear to hang while downloading and installing the update, so please be patient. If you opened the console before updating, you can follow the progress there. (Window -> Toggle System Console on Windows, on Linux start Blender from terminal).

After the update is complete, restart Blender for the changes to take effect.
