The CIE 1931 colorimetry states that light between 360nm and 830nm has to be taken into account for human vision. Many implementations use a restricted 380-780nm range which is normally OK. But 400-700nm seems quite too narrow. Which range is used in the observer functions used by Indigo?

Hello, Sorry for forgetting the Indigo version : 2.0.12 Exporter is notepad++... This is why I did not mention it! The nudge distance is the default one I guess, since I did not change it. So the distance (0.05) is much greater than nudge distance. I will try to force the nudge distance. I will also...

For sodalime glass (ie glass used in all automotives and buidlings, including tinted glasses), n is given in the table below. The k coefficient depends on tint. Here it is given for average clear iron glass (Fe around 900ppm), which is the most common glass, on which you may see green tint on the si...

Nice render. I may provide soon some "real" coated architecture glass models soon (check my new topic). These glasses are very difficult to physically reproduce if you do not have the data, but you have found some esthetic hacks to give good look. These glasses have surfacic spectrally dependant ref...

Here is what you get when you find Cauchy coefficients for sodalime glass (glass used in all building and car windows), in the visible part of the spectrum:

A 1.510891234
B 0.00424672

Dear all, The simplified Cauchy law for dielectrics is n = A+B/lambda² In the specular model, we have to provide IOR and CAUCHY_B_COEF. I suppose the latter corresponds to B. What is the relation between IOR and A? It could be IOR=A but in that case, that means the real average refractive index will...

Dear all, I am working on the following scene. I remarked some non-natural gray zones on some of the glass objects. test_glass.jpg I made some tests and I tried to render the exact same scene, but enlarged the blue diffuse square ground by 10x : from (-20,-20)-(20,20) to (-200,-200)-(200,200). And n...

In my code I accidentally inserted an incomplete matrix such as this one in the model:

<rotation>
<matrix>
0.9396926207859 -0.3420201433256
0.3420201433256 0.9396926207859 0
0 0 1
</matrix>
</rotation>

When launching the render, Indigo went into a unresponding state

Hi, Yes, there is definitely absorption, which is also spectroscopic... I have all the tabulated datas. You can find a picture here illustrating this: http://pt.saint-gobain-glass.com/newsletter/2008_files/out2008_04_home.html You can see the color & reflectance angle dependance quite well. This giv...

Dear all, I would like to simulate a coated glass material with following characteristics: - The medium of the glass has a given index of refraction (for instance 1.52). Deviation of light by refraction should work exactly as the specular material does. - But the reflectance/transmittance coefficien...

Dear all, I have figured it out... MLT was not enabled The metropolis flag is said to be "true" in the documentation, but the default infile.xml sets it to false in the current installer. So I thought it was enabled and it was not... Clearly this is the case where MLT shines. You should not put exam...

Hi all, I am evaluating Indigo for rendering glass material images. When I render the "dispersion_test.igs" file, in 800x600 with 580 samples per pixel, I get a lot of bright coloured dots in the glass prism. I think this may be caused by multiple bounce light paths which are not well sampled. I get...
