Hi there.
I've been messing about for a couple of days trying to get Luxrender to work with Blender & failing miserably.
For some reason when I follow instructions that I've found out there on the interweb pretty much nothing changes.
I've been trying to install the plug in from the User Prefs "Install Add On" function.
I expect I'm missing something screamingly obvious.

Is anyone able to give me a step by step on how to get this up & running?

Rig spec:
Ubuntu 12.04
HD7870 GPU
i52500k CPU
8Gb RAM

Even POVRay or Yafaray would be helpful I think.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I don't know how, but I've got the Luxrender add on in the list of add ons now, I just can't enable it.
Can anybody help with this?
The check box won't check at the moment so I'm at a bit of a loss.

Hi again.
I don't know exactly how, but I've managed to get this kind of up & running.
I think it was perhaps copying files manually from zips into blender's folder...dunno really.

Also; what happened to "mark as solved" in thread tools?
