Indigo Renderer 2.0.8

[OnoSendai]

Is it possible to use a sun (w/ no sky) + env map ?

Hi, this isn't possible in the current build sorry. But I'll definitely add it at some point.

Why does the shading on the first and third look so weird?

[SzLaszlo]

@SrLazlo it will come - we care for linux users.

Ok :)

Thanks for the answer Ben !

Does somebody checked speed vs 2.0.7 build?
I think a automated batch rendering of all the or just some of the testscenes would be a awesome gift and very informative to have a list released each build with a table of the results (just like pixie did

I have a grand plan of using "bitten" to build and test the speed of Indigo every night in our source code respository, then we could have cool graphs of Indigo getting faster day by day by day. We have a metric for measuring noise in the scene now as well, so we could actually measure speed at resolving, not just samples/pixel/second.

But no - we haven't done so yet.

Oh? Tell us more!

signal to noise ratio is probably a good start ;)

This are good news Ben, I like graphs and stats very much :)

Thanks the linux 64bit build :)

Yes would be nice

Thank you Ono and Whaat!!!! Here is a test with the sun/sky splitting. The third is a little colour adjustment done inside Indigo. Only postprocessing is a little sharpening inside PS.

I'm experiencing some little problems with the newest skindigo plugin, but I think I'll fix that soon.

One little question though: I see that there are some strange whitish lines where the edges converge. See the upper edges of the room/box? or the conjuction between the floor and the walls? is that a bug? I've never seen such things in the previous versions.

[CTZn]

The clear stipes are certainly a consequence of what Ben described to me (down the first page); giving the walls some depth (real modeling) should fix that I guess.

[Borgleader]

Textures are AWESOME :)

What if I don't want them to be modeled any further?
What if I just want a room to be a clean box?
I mean, I should have the possibility to choose the easiest way, don't you agree?

[CTZn]

I don't know Pibuz, I'm not responsible for that change :?

Right now it seems that you must consider giving the box some depth; that is not against a realistic approach.

Ono will look into it - it may be a bug with our nudge code.
