Q about Indigo rebuilding scene

Hi, I am wondering why in some cases Indigo seems to unnecessarily re-build the scene while adjusting a material, for example. I can understand when changing a displacement parameter or something that effects the geometry and a mesh has to be recalculated, but I am getting re-building when tweaking ...

Re: req - region rendering

Yeah, maybe having the choice depending on the situation would be helpful. The 2 approaches are both helpful, depending, of course.

req - region rendering

I have a request about region rendering (which is very simple and snappy now, I love the update). My only issue with it is that it starts over from scratch in the region instead of continuing from the current render progress. Is there any way that it could preserve the current progress and simply fo...

...exactly my thought, just select the transparency of the png and make a new alpha channel from it

Re: Render Settings

there are a few things to check. if you have glass in your windows or covering your other light sources, make sure you're using architectural glass material or just take out the glass completely. the noise is probably mostly coming from your multiple smaller light sources, though. so try assigning t...

Re: [REQ] DPI settings inside Indigo +

yeah, I am admittedly not so familiar with the sizing parameters of A4, etc, (the U.S. rarely goes with those conventions) and it is a bit more complicated to covert to inches and then pixel dims. I think at least adding cm, mm, inches, and resolution would be a benefit for everyone.

Re: [REQ] DPI settings inside Indigo +

So this is just a request to add different sizing options, i.e. dimensions and dpi, instead of just the pixel dims? I guess I can get behind that. although it's really just a matter of simple multiplication...

Re: Possible bug - 2 materials on object with same medium

Or map the model itself so different geometry has its own material. < (aka the front and the sides) This is how I have it, actually, sorry if that was unclear. There's no blend... In the end, it does make the most sense to have the materials all glossy trans, but my intuition is that it should also...

Possible bug - 2 materials on object with same medium

Hi, I am getting some weird results when I try to use a specular and glossy transparent on one object - only the front 'lens' part of this safety goggles model. the front faces of the lens have glossy transparent with an image texture controlling the roughness (adding scratches on the surface), whil...

Re: Is it Possible to Create a Rainbow Arch

I remember seeing an example of this on Nick's blog. old-old-old, like before Indigo was Indigo(?) I don't know if it was a true rainbow arch, but something similar was definitely possible at some point, at least experimentally. I know this is not very helpful, but the mention of a rainbow just brou...
