Something like this has been in Lightwave, for god knows how long... It'd be sweet if it were part of Blender itself. I suggest making a feature request on the blender.org site.

Ahhh, yes... EdgeSplit? That cures a lot of woes.

Did you use the N-gons export? I ask as I know Blender doesn't have true support for that, and your mesh looks nice & clean.

MoI is great to work with, hardly need a keyboard.

Thanks, good advice. I got used to modeling that way in Wings, sort of forced to, it makes a lot of sense anyway. I found my earlier problem, though, was because I was sloppy smoothing my window objects, my rendering issues cleared up once I noticed. Along with geometry, it helps to be mindful of sm...

Wow, that was quick. Thanks, will do. Yes, normals seem very important too.

Should they be modeled as they truly are? As in, two separate, spaced sheets of glass... or something simpler, like a single polygon?

I don't have a great handle on dealing with glass in Indigo yet.

Maybe sky turbidity would matter as well..?

I've had instances of this myself, basically in glassy/glossy scenes.

Hmm...what's this biological talk, when most everything in the XML/exporters is based on shutters & f-stop?


edit: Wouldn't experimenting with creating more pronounced specular [highlights] create unwanted hot spots as well?

Just saw the thought process going on here, and I like it. Considering we have nk materials, something like luminaires would be a killer counterpart.

Thanks for this slick exporter, btw.

Awesome, this would be great for lighting gels.

Very nice attempt, it's also a great explanation of blend materials. Thanks.

That would be interesting, a sort of "bounding box" sort of plane... maybe not.

The short & sweet was just fine, thanks!

I'm not going to protest against efficiency.

Just curious, is the "no infinite plane w/ Bidir" a temporary issue?

A fine update, just came to mind.

I lurv the new GUI, very fresh change & a great starting point.

The indirect lighting is obviously a plus in the Indigo one, but it doesn't have that kinetic look. I don't really expect it to though, like I don't expect Indigo to do cel-shading.

Congrats on the win, that was a great pose.
