I'd like to ask you how would you like to have emission scales implemented. As there are two ways of setting it in SDK. On model basis, for each submaterial ID On material basis, only for root material The first one would translate into node property page with one emission scale setting for all subm...

Hello all, Here's a small batch of fixes for IndigoMax. Thanks to all who have contributed. Changes: Done: Added modifier Indigo Settings (might need a better name) for mesh subdivision settings Done: Detect missing UV or missing texture files. Indicated with fuchsia color Fixed: Incorrect handling ...

Hi there,

Yes, there's no such option yet. You'd need to export it to IGS and render with Indigo standalone.
This feature will be implemented at some point.

There's a small issue with missing maps where max will actually find them in a different directory and display them properly in the material editor but Indigo can't render them. The resource collector utility doesn't find the maps described by the Indigo Texture material node/s. Thanks for reports....

From your description, it seems you have a problem with scenes that had Maxigo objects assigned (maps, materials, modifiers and such). With uninstalled plugin Max warns about objects missing definition. If that's the case, it's fairly easy to remove those with simple script. I can help with that if ...

I'm glad you like it. Did you change how the frame buffer or materials handle the Gamma and LUT settings? No, nothing changed in IndigoMax. There was a change in tonemapping code in Indigo 3.6.24 SDK though. Will look into it. Thanks Will the <max_num_subdivisions></max_num_subdivisions> setting be ...

Hello all, Here's another batch of fixes for IndigoMax. Thanks to all who have contributed. Changes: Fixed: Max crashes at render if any hair objects are in the scene Fixed: Rendering gets stuck in a loop where it keeps restarting or doesn't update when you change a material nested behind another. D...

[*] Need an option to turn off UV tiling on Indigo Texture or Bitmap Map. Mirror is also a useful UV tiling option. AFIK turning off uv tiling can be performed only on mesh basis. Next release should have modifier for this and other purposes. However mirror won't be possible with current SDK. [*] 3...

Uncheck the sun check box automatically when you add a map Thanks for a suggestion. In fact I'd like to change it a bit. I'd like to split Environment map into Indigo Sky map, Indigo Background map and Indigo Summed map. It would much closely reflect SDK structure and also would be simple enough fo...

Thanks for the reports. Will have them fixed.

Not sure what you mean. Could you elaborate?
Thanks again.

Rendering with interactive or background modes produces this error This is an issue with installer script (will update it asap). Meanwhile removing "scripts" folder from "plugins" folder should fix it. Sorry about that. Is it possible to make the Indigo Texture "Show material in viewport" work? Wil...

Hello all, Here's another batch of fixes for IndigoMax. Thanks to all who have contributed. Changes: Added Indigo Settings material for setting basic material properties like backside emission and shadow catcher ability (might need a better name) Fixes in viewport/camera management for interactive s...

To manually remove IndigoMax do following:
1. delete <max root>\plugins\IndigoMax folder
2. delete <max root>\plugins\IndigoMax.dlr file
3. delete <max root>\scripts\IndigoMax folder
4. delete <max root>\scripts\Startup\IndigoMax.ms file

That's it. Hope it helps

Is there somewhere i can see what version of indigomax is being used in the rendering setup or anywhere else? Sure. Goto: Customize > Plugin-in Manager and scroll to IndigoMax.dlr in description column it should read: "Indigo Renderer for 3ds Max v.0.3.5" Please note that material become available ...

Suggestion: Environment map coordinates should be set to "spherical" rather than "spherical environment" Sure, I'll make a change for standard bitmap. Please be advised that most of functionality you're referring to should be available with Indigo Texture Map. Have you tried it? If there's a need I...
