.....Lots of problems

[Lal-O]

Hi there guys
Lately i've been using Indigo at work ...but is giving me lots of problems ..Missing textures in external meshes when close and re-open the Skp file, problems when try to pack scenes to render them in other pc..etc etc.....but now the main problem here is with this "old" file ..2-3 weeks ago all was working fine and sudenly i can not create a .PIGS File... Any Clue ?

This is what i get :

Yeah, that's an extremely annoying thing. Indigo lets you render the scene without your texture, but doesn't let you save it.

it does? Can you describe how to replicate this problem?

Totally agree....
Skindigo/Indigo works like charm when it wants...but if doesn't...damn is a real pain in the * ..... However ..i think this problems are easy to solve ...with a simple file explorer showing up when something is missing and lets you to locate media paths ( textures, objects,hdris, materials....etc ).....And you're done .
Just a thought

Sorry, was a weird typo in my original post.

If you render a scene from blendigo with a missing texture (for example broken path), Indigo overrides that and starts rendering with a grey texture and warns the user (which is great). But if you then try to save scene, Indigo refuses due to the missing texture. You end up with a broken, half-baked .pigs that wont open.

I'm sorry for not reporting this earlier.

Lal-O, yeah a "locate" button in the "missing files" window would be a nice feature.

We have some code a bit like that in SkIndigo actually, it searches the scene path for missing textures.

Oh, ok.
As you know we can only fix the bugs we know about!
Just a reminder to everyone to tell us about bugs - especially workflow issues.

By the way, there's a similar problem when you try to do network rendering with a texture missing. Slave computer will not override a missing texture.

Yes, I always forgot to report that, well spotted!

Cool..i didnt know about it !
So...what is that code or where can be found? Is there any documentation for it ? .....I hope is not a programmer stuff ....
....Any clue about the problem showed in the image uploaded at the start of the topic ??
