Indigo Renderer 3.0 and Indigo RT

[OnoSendai]

Hi all,
About GPU acceleration of bidirectional path tracing:
We will definitely have a look at this and most likely release a 3.0 update that supports it.
Cheers,
nick

Now that sounds veeery interesting. Would it also support Glass Acceleration ?

[Googog Mogog]

Nice to here!

Good luck for the update.We are waiting for it. And yes please make update free also for trial users.

Yes, should do.

Bonjour,
en utilisant des valeurs de DISPLACEMENT de 0.003 et moins...

Vous trouvez ça normal d'utiliser 2 Go de RAM pour un simple scène ? Moi non... Il n'y qu'Indigo qui me pose problème...

[Pibuz]

Ciao Xaon!
Non, ce n'est pas normal, selon moi. La consommation de RAM actuelment est un peu exagérée, mais j'ai dejà exposé le problème à Lycium: j'éspère que les prochains efforts de Glare Tech seront orientés vers une utilisation plus optimisée.

Bonjour Xaon,

Dans le cas que tu rapportes, il faut que tu saches que la valeur de 0.003 concerne la hauteur verticale du déplacement, et non le nombre de divisions imposées à la géométrie. C'est ce dernier point qui déterminera l'impact des subdivisions sur la mémoire. La valeur qui définit le nombre de subdivisions de la géométrie est par définition un entier, pas une fraction comme 0.003.

Dans ton cas, le nombre de subdivisions demandé doit dépasser la capacité de ton système. Vérifie du coté des subdivisions de la géométrie qui utilisent le matériau de déplacement.

En dernier lieu, je crois que SkIndigo utilise une marge d'erreur qui annule les petits déplacements, vois si tu peux mettre cette marge d'erreur verticale à zéro pour commencer. Sinon la géométrie vas passer de "non subdiviséé" à "subdivisée" de manière abrupte, empêchant un réglage progressif. Ou bien, assure-toi d'utiliser une valeur de déplacement supérieure à 0.003 et une valeur de subdivisions inférieure à celle que tu utilises actuellement; ce sont deux paramètres bien différents.

Apologies for not translating that long answer :)

Thank's a lot...and....great job Glare Tech !!!

Hi...when I go to the buy now page...I can only see a new licence option and a new render node licence... where can I upgrade from indigo 2 to indigo 3? Thank's...

Hi,

there is an "Upgrade" button on your license page on the store.

Regards

There's no discount of upgrade from 2.xx to 3.xx license?

There's no discount of upgrade from 2.xx to 3.xx license?!

Hi HV,

there is a discount for the upgrade.
It is €145, instead of €195.

Regards,

Sorry if I'm missing something very obvious, but is it possible to upgrade from a student 2.0 license to a student 3.0 licence?

I can't seem to see an upgrade link anywhere. :-)

Thanks

Hi gjengi,

it will be possible. The upgrade for the student license will cost €50 (and there will be no special price for it). It's not possible right now, but we will make it possible soon.

Will there be special prices for newly bought student licenses?

Hallo everybody,
I`m disappointed, because I bought a Indigo 2.x license in march 2011 for 595€. Now i have to recognise that the 3.0 costs only 399€. When I buy a 3.0 upgrade i have to pay 145€, which means that, in the end i have payed 740€ for a 3.0 licence. Is there any way to get the 3.0 version a bit cheaper?

Also weird is that I´m not even able to test the 3.0 version because it says that my test period is over, maybe because i have allready installed a 2.x version. Is there any way to fix this problem except of installing it on another pc?

[Headroom]

Can't help you with the pricing question, but you can test Indigo 3 by reducing your render resolution to something =< 0.7 mega pixel e.g. 1000x700.
In fact on my PC at work I only run the free/trial version and after the warning I click one of the two available buttons (don't know which one as I am at home right now) and it automatically reduces the resolution to something below .7 Mpixel maintaining the aspect and continues to render.

Hi,
Sorry if this has been answered before (searched the forum with no results), but what about indigo 3.0 and RT on linux ?
Will it be available on that platform, and if yes, when ?
