New exporter?

[Stinkie]

Whaat, Ono, Benn,

Any release date on the new exporter? I've been trying to get the 'old' one to work with the new Indigo, but to no avail.

Hi Stinkie,

This one should work http://www.indigorenderer.com/forum/vie ... 44&start=0
I will try to do some testing tonight with Indigo 2.0 to make sure that it is usable. If it is not usable, I will try to release a working version sometime next week.

That's the one I tried. I installed both Indigo and SkIndigo again, but that didn't help. I keep getting an almost empty error pop-up (it only says "Error:") Hm.

Is Skindigo version 1.0.9 compatible with Indigo 2.0 ?

I never got my head around the external material/textures thing of later versions, so I hoped the old fashioned 1.0.9 way of doing things would work as well...

[remus]

skindigo 1.0.9 isn't compatible with indigo 2. There was a change in the .igs and .igi file formats which is why theyre incompatible.

Id suggest giving 1.1.16 a go though, as long as your diffuse/bump/displacement are all the same size its very straightforward to load them up.

I thought I posted a Skindigo Texturing Tutorial WIP that explains the new system, but I can't find it. Does anyone know where it is or have a copy?

[kellpossible]

I think I might have a copy on my laptop, I'll let you know If I can find it

[kellpossible]

nope, sorry can't find it...

Have you tried opening the igs file manually?

[Stinkie]

No, I haven't. And I won't, though I appreciate the suggestion. Thing is, the mat preview isn't working either. Little use in doing a final render then, eh?

thats because of the same reason. if you open the igs manually it will work.

[Stinkie]

I meant the SkIndigo mat preview.

I meant the SkIndigo mat preview.

I know.

[Stinkie]

Wait, wait. So you're suggesting I should model, say, a sphere as a test scene, apply a texture, tweak the mat, export, open the igs with Indigo, go back to make changes, export again, open again, etc - and this for every mat in my actual scene? (Did I get that right?)

By the time I get anything serious done, Indigo 6 will be out.

Yeah, it is not practical to manually open preview scenes. I know that the current SkIndigo version will not work effectively with Indigo 2.0. I will get a new version out ASAP.
