thanks whaat! I'm a high school student and don't have the money (or the job) to buy the new indigo yet!

er, this version doesn't work with 1.1.18 so I guess I can't take advantage of material imports with the free version...

nope, sorry can't find it...

I think I might have a copy on my laptop, I'll let you know If I can find it

that sounds like a great idea to me! people doing big renders for fun will probably be willing to pay to get it printed as well! It all depends on the price I guess

But I still like the vue method more!

Eman, I think you have a good point there.

I love indigo, but this is a sad day in away for me! in the past I have used it for fun, I'm thinking of getting a job involving Architectural Visualization, but until then, the new indigo is off limits to me. Part of me says what is the point of making a free version if you can only render small im...

in theory

it might be something to do with the settings file that skindigo automatically creates...

It sounds good to me!, and maybe a way to mix and match the different basic shaders for beginners to create their own ... just brainstorming, no Idea if this is remotely possible!

yes this works fairly well in programs with inbuilt procedurals, but not in sketchup. Plus I think luxrender does it differently, someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think they convert the blender procedurals into luxrender procedurals, and they also have several more of their own. I think it woul...

you know what would be great? Something like luxrender's implementation of procedural textures in blender, but for all the plugins (su, 3ds, whatever). I think that the blender plugin uses luxrender to render a 2d preview of the procedural instead of using something else?! I have a feeling this may ...

sounds great! I'm really interested.

hey do any of you run wings on ubuntu, because I can't get it to work, and It is horribly slow on windows with my machine.

I posted a similar problem earlier, and switching to 1.1.18 fixed most of the problem, but I'll give super sampling a shot too. Just wondering, but could you achieve a similar effect to super sampling by scaling down the image after it has been rendered or is the process a lot more complicated than ...

it's awful for beginners but Can be a really useful tool, just can't seem to get it to work on ubuntu so I'm restricted to using it with windows xp, which is horrendously slow on my laptop.
