@neepneep:
which rendersettings did you use?
Try to turn off Bidir.
If that doesn't work, try turning off Hybrid ( Metropolis, true, as in Participating Media, direct light using Pathtracing wont work too good) then, if you use any new features, try to turn them often, one by one...
If it then still doesn't work, it definitely is a heavy bug... Which I don't think

Great work Ono... I love this frequent test versions, even if the changelog isn't very long
BTW, does "performance enhancements" mean more use of SSE,
and how are your plans for SSE2 & SSE3 etc. any chance of a backward compatible version using SEE 1, 2, 3 and even 4 in the future???

Performance enhancements means some SSE optimisation, faster kd-tree traversal, stuff like that.
I'll probably keep some switches so I can do SSE1 only builds in the future, yeah.

Thanks Nick,
transform matrices works perfectly now. Thanks for rolling back. Keep listing for any material reorganization...
Best regards, Riccardo.

Well technically it wasn't a roll back, because back when the transform matrices could be non-orthogonal, I hadn't implemented instancing yet
Anyways, np.

%indigopath% "%testscenepath%/simple_bump_test.igs" %args%
The script didn't work Indigo didn't start when i ran it

. well i'll wait for Deltaepsylons script or until you made it implemented in Indigo thanks anyway for a awesome renderer

. Btw is Indigo written in Visual C++?

Good day time. My name is Damian. Iam from Russia, so sorry for my bad english. I have some ideas for future Indigo releases. I see it will be great usefull.
1) start/stop render button.
2) reload scenes without exiting indigo
3) when igs-file is bad - dont exit with error, but reset and stand by
4) in interface - simple scene setup before starting render: camera f-stop, render-size, rendering method, and etc.
5) add simple material editor with fast preview(like in Maxwell render)

strange things happening to me, one scene will start on 900x600 resolution, but when i change just resolution on 2700x1800, indigo crashes, is that memory issue? got 3gb. last words from log

Yup, probably out of RAM.

oups, so i have optimize my scene, and ono, what about textures? i have some pretty hires textures included, are they memory eaters too?
EDIT: 370mb of them, some are 6000x6000, mostly around 2000x2000

try turning supersamples_factor down if it is 3, change it to 2.
that will make the master buffer a bit smaller
