IndigoMax 0.3.4

[EnemmyV2]

Hi EnemmyV2, I hope this helps.


If not then you may have to record a video of the issue so Subpixel can work on it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ahhh! I never saw that Export on Settings, thanks a lot, it worked
also, are there any tutorials to master Indigo Render?, because I've found just few

Forgot to mention, why does this render takes a lot of time to simply render a Box and a omni light? O.o

And its still rendering, its at the minute 4 right now
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ALSO! whats the diference between IndigoMax (the render inside 3Ds Max) and Indigo Render (the program aplication)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just got too many questions, why if I setup on 3Ds Max on Render / Settings / Image completion set to 0 hours and 2 minutes, once it gets exported to Indigo Render (Main application) it go over 2 minutes, it doesn't stops, because I wanna batch render 5 frames, but it just render 1 frame and don't stops rendering

Hi EnemmyV2,

I'm glad it worked for you.
Both IndigoMax and Indigo (application) use same core, so renderings are the same, however interface in Indigo application is far more advanced. Right now in IndigoMax there's a modest subset of features found in Indigo application, hence there's an option to export.

It however cannot render an animation sequence (though you should have a sequence of igs scenes in destination path). Render scene option simply performs a system double click on a last file (so you need to have an installed Indigo application). Nevertheless, you might not go outside of Max and render scene within, skipping slow scene export and parsing it (not really an issue with simple scenes).

I'm not that good in writing tutorials, but feel free to ask specific questions on forum or via PM.
Also don't hesitate to report bugs (as Enslaver does) or suggestions, they all are very helpful.

Cheers,

Hi EnemmyV2 - You have found a new bug

*Halt time and Halt SPP are not exported

Render an animation in 3dsmax the same way you usually would. Set the output range and output files in the max render settings (F10) and use the Regular rendering setting for Indigo, rather than export. I have tried this and it works.

Make sure you change the Tonemapping settings in the Advanced tab (F10) to Linear or Camera. Reinhard is not suitable for animations as the brightness will change per frame and create flashing.

3ds max design 2011 crashes while opening compact material editor.

This should be fixed for the next release.

I would like to tank you guys for helping me even the developer replies and that is just awesome.

Well at my university the last project of this semester is to just model and make the concept art of a character, but I always like to put more on it, so I'm gonna make the model in ZBrush, I was thinking on a Human with robot parts, then texturize it, rigg it in maya, animate it and render it in 3Ds Max with this new render, they gave us 4 months to finish the project.

So I was looking at the gallery of Indigo, and the images are stunning, I wonder, is the lights?, the textures?, or the render itself?, how do you reach such photographic quality, I've done good renders with vray but not as good as the pics of this gallery, maybe... they're photograps!

So how do you get such quality? :O

*Suggestion: Make the default Coating material settings the same as Indigo.
*Limit Coating Roughness spinner to 0-1
*Revalue thickness spinner so that 1000 = 1000um. Currently .001 = 1000um and most people don't have their max set to use more than 3 decimal places (default).
*Absorbtion colour needs exponent.

The Coating material settings should reflect the default coating material settings in Indigo otherwise it may be difficult for new users.

IOR 1.5
Thickness: 1000um
Roughness: 0.3

Agreed. Will be in next release.
Thanks,

*This error occurs trying to render Specular materials:

An exception occurred while rendering with 3ds Max.
This render will abort. If you render again without resolving the exception, you may experience instability.
Unknown Exception

This error doesn't occur when exporting, the scene renders fine. This error doesn't happen every time, you may have to move the camera or add a light.

Can replicate, will fix, thanks!

*Resolution in Indigo is 800x600 regardless of max settings when exporting scenes.

[OnoSendai]

*Bidirectional check box should be disabled when GPU check box is selected.
*Rendering mode selection drop down list could be disabled when GPU is selected.

Done for next release.

Phong materials don't render Albedo textures.

Was using the Specular / Diffuse map channels. Will change to Albedo.

*Resolution in Indigo is 800x600 regardless of max settings when exporting scenes.

This is fixed for next release.

About exception: Have you tried most recent version of IndigoMax? There were a number of issues solved since version 0.3.4
If problem persists with new version try to locate source of such exception or maybe you might send a scene so we could take a look.
About lights: At the moment for light sources it's best to use geometry with emissive material like Indigo material. You might find more information here:
