'render_foreground_alpha' error - please help!

Post by one2 » Wed Jun 18, 2008 4:09 pm

I'm new to Indigo, and I have installed Skindigo 1.1.5, according to
http://www.indigorenderer.com/joomla/fo ... sc&start=0

But I get the error below when I click the render button

IndigoDriverExcep: SceneLoaderExcep: Found unexpected element 'render_foreground_alpha' in element 'render_setting'. (Around line 16, column 13)


Since I'm pretty new to this, can somebody please help me out!!!

Sounds like an old Indigo version.
What version are you using?

Yeah, alpha was added since 1.0.6
So switch to a newer build.

Btw Skindigo 1.1.5 means, that it is meant to be used with Indigo version 1.1.5
