Oh, how embarrassing... I'm not yet very familiar with Indigo.
But thanks for the useful information.

Hi Zom-B,

would it be possible to reload this tutorial? It would be very helpful for my actual project.

Thanks to all for the answers.

Does somebody know, what .igs means?
I shall create a file for Cathia, what understands .igs-files, but I don't know, if it's the same.

Wow! Very cool!

Now it's clear. Many thanks!

Thanks for helping. I work with OSX 10.5.8 and I installed the Blendigo manually into addon folder. The real strange thing is: I tried rendering for many times (not only today) before I asked in the forum, but the first try after my posting was successful..... It's nearly mysterious. But now there's...

I use blender 2.61, Blendigo 3.2.6.0 and Indigo 3.2.6 (also tried with 3.2.2 and 3.0.14). The path to Indigo 3.2.6 is correct, but every time I try to render, I get the message: "Unsupported version v2.2.12; Cannot start indigo with this scene".
What could this mean?

Nix verstähn deitsch

Thanks for Your responses. Playing around with the material editor is what I did first. Manipulating existing materials was the next step. But i'm afraid, now comes "rischdisch mache".
By the way: What is IOR and abc system?

I do my first steps in creating and using indigo materials and it feels like in a labyrinth with lots of surprises.
How did You start learning this stuff? Is it all trial and error?

That was exacatly, what I needed. Mercy beaucoup!!!

Unfortunetely this didn't solve it. The problem is only with materials that have included textures or shaders. With textures I get "python script error..." and with shaders Indigo crashes after starting the render process. Ok, the object in blender has to be uv mapped to the texture, that's clear, b...

That's what I found.

What materials were expected in the .pigm file?

When I try to use an external material I get:

Python script error: check console

What does it mean?


Blender 2.49b
Blendigo 2.44
Indigo 2.4.13
Mac OSX 10.5.8

You are right, thanx!
