When its done! ;)

Updated build in place, new changelog:

3.8.8
* Made shader optional for scatter.
* Added offset_uids option for <include> tag.
* Made IGS XML element checking print a warning message to the render log / std out, instead of causing an error and stopping the scene loading.
This will allow the possibility of older Indigo versions rendering scenes saved for new IGS formats.
* Added orient_normal option for scattering.

[Zom-B]

* Added orient_normal option for scattering.

That sound handy!
Is this value a on/off setting, or can it be controlled 0-100%?!

on/off.

Quick note, you may want to update the installer for IndigoMax in the executable. Version in the install file is 0.37, while most recent is 0.3.11.

Only realised when I updated Indigo, started Max, and an old IndigoMax Material Editor bug had returned. Had to manually update eventually.

Updated build in place:
* Added support for object scatter groups.
* Added scale_std_dev and height_std_dev to scatters.

Awesome! Sample code?

[OnoSendai]

Code: Select all

<scatter>
    <name>the scatter</name>

    <proto_object_groups>
      <proto_object_group>
         <prototype_object_uid>4000</prototype_object_uid>
         <weight>1</weight>
      </proto_object_group>

      <proto_object_group>
        <prototype_object_uid>5000</prototype_object_uid>
        <weight>0.1</weight>
      </proto_object_group>
      
    </proto_object_groups>
   
    
    <density>20</density>

    <scale_std_dev>0.0</scale_std_dev>
    <height_std_dev>0.0</height_std_dev>

    <target_object_uid>2000</target_object_uid>

    <evenness>1.0</evenness>
  </scatter>

or it can be done by referring to geometry and materials directly:

Code: Select all

	<scatter>
		<uid>119</uid>
		<name><![CDATA[box on carpet base]]></name>
		<proto_object_groups>
				<proto_object_group>
					<geometry_uid>118</geometry_uid>
					<materials>
						<material_uid>101</material_uid>
					</materials>
					<weight>1.0</weight>
					<transform><matrix>7.747000e-001 0.000000e+000 0.000000e+000 0.000000e+000 2.794000e-001 0.000000e+000 0.000000e+000 0.000000e+000 3.175000e+000</matrix></transform>
				</proto_object_group>
		</proto_object_groups>
		<target_object_uid>116</target_object_uid>
		<density>20.0</density>
		<seed>1</seed>
		<view_culling>false</view_culling>
		<orient_normal>false</orient_normal>
		<scale_std_dev>0.0</scale_std_dev>
		<height_std_dev>0.0</height_std_dev>
		<evenness>0.5</evenness>
	</scatter>

Updated build:
Added evenness setting to scatters.
Added per-scattered object (object group) transforms.

At some point you should update the initial changelog, thats quite a bunch for a silent update ;)
