A 1000 x 1000 image will only be 300 dpi if you print it in, like, post stamp size.

Required resolution = 300 dpi * size of your printed media, in inches.

First of all, use this: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=15118

Second, zip the "indigo_exporter" folder and use "install from archive" option in the blender add-ons menu, using this zip file. That's how I usually do it.

Did you compare Pathtracing (CPU) with Pathtracing(GPU)?

Yeah you probably have to import the 3ds file in something like Blender, scale it all up and re-export into SKP. SketchUp is horrible for handling large amounts of 3D data.

Have you tried GPU PT renders?

Wow. Your best one yet, I think?

Would also like to know.

^ In that case, try turning off the OpenGL preview in Indigo UI.

Is the Material ID rendering function broken in the latest build, or is there a new way to access this tool?

It's now a render channel, meaning it's rendered alongside your main render.

A 2080 Ti is about as fast as 2x 1080ti judging by the benchmark database.

Aye. But you can't get "fake" DOF to generate miniature shots like you can with a tilt lens. Fortunately the effect is somewhat easy to replicate in Photoshop using lens blur and a vertical gradient as depth map.

As you say, I'm pretty sure Indigo only features a shift lens, but not tilt. The former has a lot of arch viz applications, while I've never actually seen the latter being used in a 3D rendering context.

Would just like to mention that there's usually not one quick fix to popularise a software. The material system isn't *the* key thing holding Indigo back, although there's definitely disadvantages, from a usability point of view, with having separate material models rather than an "über-material" à ...

I use eGPU on Mac OS without any problems. It's a great solution for me, as I get a light MBP, but with decent GPU rendering horsepower when I occasionally need it. If you decide to go for an eGPU, make sure it's AMD though. The NVidia OpenCL drivers for Mac seem quite bad, and you're getting nowher...

I agree with your request, would be really useful.
