Hello skook,

welcome to the forum! Some quick questions ...

1. Did you follow the readme to properly install the script?
2. Did you edit the m2i.ini to specify the directory of Indigo?
3. When does this error occur?
4. What does your scene look like?
5. What lighting do you use?
6. What shaders do you use?

Don't worry we'll get it to work somehow ... hehe. ;o)

yes, to my knowledge
yes
the error happens when i press the max2indigo button i installed in the toolbar through the macroscript.

just a simple cube with the Indigo glass , doesn't seem to matter which light i use still get the error.

I put the master and slave folder in the c:Indigo folder

and then post a screencapture of it, thanx! ;o)

Hmm, I can't reproduce the error. I guess u3dreal has to take a look at it. :?

btw. Is this the new beta2 of the script?

Ok, I've got it. You're using a free camera, but you'll need a target camera. ;o))

edit: U3dreal should mention this in the readme to avoid confusion. :P :D ;)

it's v0.615; it's not doing that error any more. now i get to see the render ui options, but when i go to render it says in the dos window

Fatal error: sceneloaderexcep: failed to load xml doc from path '1' failed to open file line 0, column 0.

and when i uncheck the default xml - i get

-- Defined in encrypted script
>> MAXScript Rollout Handler Exception: -- Runtime error: File not open. No I/O allowed: C:\indigo/defaultgeom.xml <<

Erm, ... now it sounds like the path in your m2i.ini is wrong.
Please post the content of it and where you installed Indigo.

And it seems u3dreal broke the custom save option somehow,
because it's not working for me either. ;o)

Nope, looks perfect. Just another question. You are using Indigo v0.6 test6 right? ;o)
