I find that explanation fair enough

yeh the batch file provided should work fine, but i think you need to specify the time or the spp limit if you want it to work for animation before you export it.

well neo0, if you want people to take you seriously, maybe you should try something like helping with the documentation for the new indigo/skindigo stable version, so that people can see that you are willing to do the work, rather than just suggest things, even if you think you don't think you have ...

neo0, have you tried pressing the preview button?!! i think you are getting mixed up about what needs documentation, firstly Indigo doesn't have an environment to manipulate the models, or anything to do with the scene, other than a few options, so you can't expect it to have the kind of documentati...

I'm just having trouble using this script, can you post some instuctructions on how to use it? I can see that it is a model file, so how can I use it to export to indigo, if it is not imported as a plugin?

have you tried just doing a single image render through the command line yet? try that first to learn the basics. You will probably need to write a batch file in the indigo directory and put your scene into that directory as well (with the TX_Scene folder as well) then just type Replace Scene with y...

try testing it on something simple first to see whether you can get the clip mapping working, then work your way up to something more complicated like your tree scene, that's what i've learned to do anyway!

oh yeh I forgot about that! I actually made a program using game maker that made a new batch file from scratch letting you change the spp and other stuff... (game maker! i know, but it was the easiest and fastest way for a noob like me to read and write from a text file, I'm no good with all that IO...

at the moment you have to make a clip map for the trees by extracting the alpha map from the png and saving it as a black and white jpeg, then put that jpeg as external with the same uv coordinates as su(if your using the new version), or with the old version just load it into sketchup with the same...

It creates a batch file in the indigo directory I think (or whatever directory you saved it to) and then you open that and it runs the render, saving all the images ready to be imported into a video editor like CTZN said

I can't wait to get in on the action, I wish I had a mac!

briefly, but not long enough to really say anything!

yes I'm afraid i have to agree with pixie on this one, plus this is what makes indigo unique! It's also a nicer workflow in my opinion (at least for me in sketchup it is)

i don't have a mac, but I'm still excited about how many more people will use indigo when this plugin comes out!
