Indigo Renderer 4 public beta

[Originalplan®]

@contegufo Nice find!

So testin the V4 for about two weeks in. I didn't find any new & critical Bugs on my part.

Maybe this was a bit early :)

Found a new BUG : GPU render does not support rendering Alpha setups. Renders the whole scene alpha.
Bidir & els working fine.

Plus found a new easter egg: Hold down alt + grab the Indigo App frame from the bottom and resize it! :)

Yup, alpha rendering isn't done yet. Looking forward to that :)

Exporter related BUG : OSX Cindigo latest v3 build.

So Cindigo does not like when exporting Cloned objects that have Random effector specially in the Rotation segment. No workaround simply this error message. It works when i delete the rotation effector.

any word from dev's about this igi resume issue? it's really messing with my workflow.

also, not sure if this is a bug or just outdated, but I tried merging 2 igi's from terminal with the --merge_igi command and a file list and I get an error that the igi's can't be read. this happens with v 4 and 3.8 both.

Code: Select all

Failed to open file 'blah-blah-myfile.igi' for reading

Wow!!! That's a thing!? Merging IGI's via Terminal?? O _ O

Only for the brave! xD

yeah, at least it was a thing... maybe the igi spec changed?

used to be the command was:
./IndigoConsole --merge_igi listoffilestomerge.txt outputfile.igi

wow this is incredible, my scenes is going from around 1m/s to over 10m/s with my gpus. If I own v3 is there an upgrade I can purchase or do I have to purchase a full v4 license?
