Indigo Camera Tag

Add this to a Cinema 4D camera object to set Indigo specific settings. Use in conjunction with the Cinema4D's camera settings such as focal length and aperture.

See Camera

Indigo Exit Portal Tag

Adding this tag to an object makes this object export as an exit portal. The normals of the object should be pointing in the direction you want the light to enter the room.

Objects with this tag will only be exported as an exit portal and any materials on it will be ignored.

See Exit Portals

Indigo Light Tag

Add this tag to the lights Omni lights, Area lights, or Spot lights to set Indigo specific light options. The options are the same as adding emissions to a material. Because there are no point lights in Indigo, on export these special Cinema4D entities are translated into a mesh and act exactly as if you made a light bulb mesh and applied an emitting material to it.

See Emission, Base Emission
