This build fixes bugs with Indigo segfaulting on extremely large scenes.
Material editor and the material database
Nick and I have been working on the Indigo material editor. One of the cool features of the new material editor is that you can search, browse and open materials directly from the online material database. You can also upload materials to the material database as well, the material editor takes care of rendering a preview image, packaging up your material and preparing it for upload.
There may be a jump in the number of materials in the database over the coming months.
New focus on Blendigo
Anyone who has used Blendigo (our Blender exporter) lately may have struck one of several frustrating bugs. We're very aware of the lack of quality in Blendigo, and beginning this week - we've decided to make an internal project to develop, test and release Blendigo more often. Our primary aims are:
* More reliable
* Better user interface
* More documentation
Blender users can expect to start seeing improvements in early October.
Indigo SDK Page
We've put up a page about our SDK and integrating with Indigo.

Rays of light in a dusty room
I've just updated the techniques manual with a dusty room example. Very cool technique - I'd love to see what people with more artistic skill than me can do with it.
