Yes, atm for the actual state of the beta keep CPU based OpenCL rendering deactivated, it does rather harm the overall speed!

Will OpenVDB or any other method of rendering smoke and fire be supported, ever?
OnoSendai has shown back in 2013, in the
thread "Experiments.." a few renders of smoke from Blender. Years later, still nothing.
This is the only thing currently preventing me from picking up a copy of Indigo. I don't care how I would feed the data to the renderer, even a basic ASCII format that I can put into a scene file would be a great start, because I can write a script for my 3D package (Blender, Maya, whatever) that would export the fluid cache into a format that Indigo can read.
Ono has shown
this is possible and in the trunk, but beyond that, nothing. There aren't any mentions of any volume-importing abilities in the technical manual either. It never came to us users, but it's obviously working.
If only a simple way like I mentioned above would be exposed through the scene file, I would call it a day and pick up a copy. But ideally, I would just point Indigo to an OpenVDB cache and it would do it's magic.
I've tried every renderer under the sun and Indigo is the closest thing to what I need.
Hopefully the dev team at least says will something like this (ideally OpenVDB support) ever happen? Because a lot of people would love it and use it.
Cheers, Jack

OpenVDB support, sometimes in the future, would be amazing, especially now, when the Realflow is hitting the C4D with it's new plug-in that will feature a mesh engine based on the OpenVDB library! :D
Smokes, fires, 3D models. Possibilities are endless.

Was wondering about Open VBD too...
"OnoSendai has shown back in 2013"
< What Ono can do in 2013 we still can't in 2016 :D:D
It would be cool if Open VBD would be added. Let's hope!

Coming in the next build, probably: double-sided thin and glossy transparent material GPU support - the last two core materials to be supported on GPU.

Nice for my iClone tests, so I will not need to manually change the glossy transparent materials anymore.

Just dicovered a crash when I set a ground face material to be a shadow catcher and started rendering in Shadows mode. Tied it several times. I sent the dump file to
support@indigorenderer.com

You need to save your scene a s aPIGS and not IGS Antonis, so textures and meshes will be packed together :)

I had a similar issue cause my laptop is old and 32bit. Don't know for sure though.

Ono,
Any chance to troubleshoot/fix the issue with older Macbooks and iMacs? Myself and a few others were unable to get the GPU going on those. Hardware supports OpenCL (NVIDIA GTX 775M).
It crashes on kernel builds.
