It's also possible to light a room with sun&sky only. Try to play around with the tonemapping in the latest release of violet, that helps a lot ;) But if you want to combine a sun with other light emitters you will have to play around with the efficiacy value of the meshlight. http://www2.indigorend...

The answer is YES, i think
But some things are much easier in maxwell than in indigo. But i think it's only a question of time until indigo is better than maxwell

This would be awesome! I think it woul be very comfortable to work with an external indigo material editor :) I have some suggestions: - The possibility to use Photoshop-like mixing methods for maps would be kicking-a**! For example multiple mapchannels for the color of a material (layer 1: wood, la...

Cooool!
I'm really looking forward for the next release

I think that exit portals would be a very nice feature for upcoming indigo versions. They help to get a much nicer lighting for interior scenes and moreover they decrease the rendertimes ;) Here is some information about the usage of exit portals in fryrender: http://fryrender.com/sh_images/tuts/fil...

Cool, didn't hear about that. A "real" material preview would be much nicer than a fake or half-baked one in cindigo, that's right

Wow, procedual support sounds very nice

Would it be possible to create some kind of material preview for cindigo? That would be a very nice feature

Thx fused! Can't wait to test it this evening

Very nice scene so far
How did you setup the tonemapping values? I like the overexposed sky and sunbeams

I noticed that my Indigo 0.7 was a very outdated version
Now I'm using the latest 0.7 release and it works fine. But thanks for your help guys

Sorry, but which Indigo Release is compatible with cindigo 0.8? I tried to render a simple scene with Indigo 0.7 Test 5, 0.7 Test 7 and Indigo 0.8 Test 1+2. 0.8 crashes when loading the xml file and the 0.7's say "Found unexpected element "value" in element "absorption_coefficient_spectrum" The Scen...

Awesome! Thank you fused! Does the exporter work with the latest indigo release?

Yes, otherwise it would be called "Y-Depth" instead of "Z-Depth"
But back to topic please

No, the Y-Axis is the vertical axis

Thanks for the quick replies!
Sorry, I forgot to tell you that I use the C4D exporter
By moving the NullObject along C4D's Y Axis, the sky gets a little more blue but I think it could be much more blue (I moved the Sun in C4D to Y 75.000)
I will post the file tonight
