The new version gives this error selecting diffuse materials when indigo editor is open and the indigo editor closes when selecting diffuse materials:
Code: Select all
// Error: file: C:/Users/me/Documents/maya/2014-x64/scripts/mti_UI.mel line 486: Too many children in layout: rowLayout62 //
rowLayout increases number as I click in diffuse shaders
And when I try to render it gives this error and export freezes:
Code: Select all
// Error: file: C:/Users/I/Documents/maya/2014-x64/scripts/mti_GEN_.mel line 479: No object matches name: difuseMaterialName.shc //
I am using a scene that worked well in previous version.

nah ignore the above, I kind of overlooked the indigoShader this time. Please use a lambert node for diffuse/Oren-Nayar materials meanwhile.
Thank you for the report.
edit: the fix also requires adding this line:
Code: Select all
mti_addAtt($mat,"bool","shc" ,"shadowCatcher","Shadow Catcher","","","0","");
into the indigoShader case in
proc mti_addAttr_mat (string $mat)

I think Iv done everything correct and still gives the error when rendering:
Code: Select all
// Error: file: C:/Users/me/Documents/maya/2014-x64/scripts/mti_GEN_.mel line 479: No object matches name: difuse1.shc //
The rest is fine.

If you have not restarted Maya you need to source back the edited mel file.
I'll get this sorted soonish, the fix was given hastingly.

of course, maybe I did something wrong.
I added in line 196 of mti_addAtrr.mel and it looks like this:
Code: Select all
case "indigoDiffuse":
mti_addAtt($mat,"bool","shc" ,"shadowCatcher","Shadow Catcher","","","0","");
break;

that's the same switch/case body we are talking about, but it should be in the indigoShader case a few ones below. The indigoDiffuse node was never published because I failed at OGL rendering. It should be an empty case, if at all.
Beyond this fix, export might well need some related updates too. Again lambert is to be preferred meanwhile.

ah, I can't help but post bullcrap loads.
it's not even in the indigoShader case my mistake; just add the line at the very end of the procedure, below similar ones:
Code: Select all
[...]
mti_addAtt($mat, "string", "ppa", "profilePath", "", "", "", "","");
mti_addAtt($mat,"short","lli" ,"lightLayerIndex","Light Layer Index","0","15",
"","");
mti_addAtt($mat,"bool","shc" ,"shadowCatcher","Shadow Catcher","","","0","");
}
I'm considering setting the shadow catcher on by default in the case that other materials would support it.

Now thing is ok but I am animating cauchyb (dispersion) and it says at export time
Code: Select all
frozen: incorrect parameter
Textures can not be used to define a volumetric absortion (indigoMedium2_cauchyB1)
It is only some keys, not a texture.

workaround: plug a spectrum node in and animate its uniform value.

What version of maya does this work best on? I am trying maya 2015 and many things don't seem to work. So before I start installing all versions of maya to test, what version should I use?

I seemed to fix it. in mti_xml.mel
change:
Code: Select all
global proc string closeTag()
{
global string $currParent;
string $temp[] = `listRelatives -parent $currParent`;
$currParent = $temp[0];
return $temp[0];
}
to:
Code: Select all
global proc string closeTag()
{
global string $currParent;
string $temp[] = `ls $currParent`;
$currParent = $temp[0];
return $temp[0];
}
now you can link igs files in maya 2015!

isnt ls currentParent returning currentParent ? that being said off the top of my head... you know, when I started scripting I could only focus onto a few lines at once, and that's how I introduced the more bugs. but since I am not supporting that mti anymore, I do appreciate your efforts and am wishing you the best with it.
