Make sure you have the newest version of quicktime installed! Previews will not work with the 64 bit version bacause of the lack of 64 bit quicktime.

Thank you fused!

But what exactly does relatively compatible with Indigo 1.1.18 mean?

Background lighting, for example, has changed and won't work with 1.1.18 any longer

No problem. It means that you can render Cindigo 2.0.6 exported scenes with Indigo 1.1.18, as long you don't use 2.0 specific features (motion blur at the moment).

No. Background lighting will work fine with 1.1.18. The reason you have problems with it is that you use 1.1.14 and background materials were introduced in 1.1.15.

The "Indigo Render Einstellungen" object is being moved to the post effects inside the C4D render dialogue.
Light Normalization Tags aren't any more, these settings moved to the material object of your emittive material.

@fused: I've got a few problems with the General Light Type settings: emittive materials just render black. I'll finish a test scene for you; maybe you could check where the mistake is...

Ah, got it:
Seems like RGB emission spectrum is not being regarded correctly, neither with emission scale nor without.
With blackbody everything is just fine... strange.

everything ok!

I have a problem in the scene with infinite light or solar: the lighting is only diffused, as if it were applied only to an object sky c4d11 ... maybe something wrong?
A simple example with sunlight activated.

you need to set the sun object in the indigo render settings in the post effects at the moment. just drag an object thats supposed to be used for the sun position in the link field.
