Great work over the past year.
Thank you!
Makes my investment in Indigo worthwhile.

Hi Whaat!
..while waiting for the new normal map support feature to be integrated ( ), I just wanted to ask you a thing: would it be possible to make the default sketchup material (not SkIndigo editable) to be exported as a diffuse material instead of what looks like oren-nayar?
This because sometimes one forgets to apply a white "ad-hoc" made plaster material on some faces, leaving them painted with the default, and after hours of rendering the damn faces look really darker than the correct ones...

I attach an image to explain and the very basic test model

Thanks!

Hmm...I didn't realize there was such a difference! OK, that should be doable.

sorry to disturb here, ive make a topic, but no ones reply, so i just make a post here, hope u guys don't mind!
i cant see & set my component object to "enable instancing" which is by clicking the mouse 2 button, and cant set "exit portal" at Material editor, the method said that can be adjust in object editor, but i couldn't find the tab! Please help me out here! Thx!

[Pibuz]

Hi william!
Indigo and SkIndigo have been updated a lot. SkIndigo in particular has changed the way it handles something: instancing for example has been made completely automatic, that's why you don't see the option in the context menu. Exit portal is any longer a shader, but a mesh property: now make a rectangle, group it, double click to enter the group, right-click and select "edit active mesh", and then check the exit portal option.

Cheers!

thx pibuz, finally settle my headache problem!

Is that 3.2.13 can support on Mac osx, mountain lion?

There shouldn't be any issues using 3.2.13 with mountain lion.

Works perfect here!
