Error: Can't find material "default"

Post by Frutiger » Fri Sep 09, 2011 5:58 am

This one's fun:
A problem occurred with the scene:
Error while building scene: No such material 'Default'
Anyone else run into this?

Are you using an external mesh?

Can you post the SKP for testing?

It happened to me too...
I thought I was doing something wrong, so now every time I change materials or add a component from another file, I try to send it to indigo so I know what maybe causing the problem and I can delete it.
also It happened when trying to "purge unused"

Hello Whaat,
Please help me before I go insane.. :roll:

In the Skindigo 3.0.15
I can't:
Netwotk Render
Place Enviroment Maps
Instancing

Is this normal? does this works on 3.0.14?

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

Please read the entire first post in the SkIndigo 3.0.15 thread very carefully. :) There were major changes.

Instancing is now handled automatically so don't worry about it.
Environment maps are now handled using Background Materials. Read more in the 3.0.15 thread.

Network rendering works fine for me (no changes were made here). Maybe you were doing something wrong...


I realize that these changes have caused some confusion. I am trying to wrap up some final major changes to SkIndigo 3.0.X and then I plan to create a bunch of tutorials to fully document how to use every feature of SkIndigo 3.0.

Stay tuned... :)

Just external references in this one. Here's a dropbox link to the file (80 MB). Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help, Whaat.

Alffrad, to be fair, I've been able to get all of those things to work after some fiddling. The new workflows threw me for a loop at first, that's all. Network rendering seems to be the least stable of all, but thankfully the least critical to staying operational. That's probably a questions for the Indigo guys.

I understood Instancing in Skindigo 3.0.15, thanks to Pibus here´s the link:
http://www.indigorenderer.com/forum/vie ... 1&start=15

Then I read "again and again" the Skindigo 3.0.15 thread for the Environment Maps until I realized that I had to create a material and add an "EMITTER" to it. Now I don´t understand how to scale it. But anyways If I render with an environment map, Indigo crashes...

Also I post this for the network rendering:
I CAN´T GET IT TO WORK.

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

I think this is a bug in version 3.0.15. Can you try rendering with SkIndigo 3.0.14 and see if it works?

Hi Whaat,
Thank you for the reply. I hope you have been well :)

I can confirm it does work in Skindigo 3.0.14 together with Indigo 3.0.12.

This bug should be fixed in 3.2.1 (just released)
