Hey,

its Blendigo v1.0.1 and Blender 2.45

I didn't ask for blender, but for Indigo^^
Blendigo supports blends, directly in Blender, now

You should try to use Blendigo 1.0.4 and Indigo 1.0.4

Really? Nice, will try it...

Thanks

no problem

You'll need to create three materials.
One as material A
One as material B
and one Blendmat

The Blendmat should be the one, that 's used on the mesh

hi guys
i tried to get this done in blendigo - i failed...
my goal is to create a fire in fireplace which will be the lightsource and have alphachannel - for i want to get rig of black around my flames. i created an alpha for my photo of a fire - and blended it in several combinations using blendigo's "blend" matt, but none of this worked...any help??

i posted my files so u can tell if im doing something wrong

Your problem is, that Indigo can't blend lightsources. Emitters aren't materials.
Ono's working on that, or at least, he WILL work on it...
For now, you'll need to cut out your mesh yourself and map the fire correctly on it

hm yea i got that before - but even if i don't want an emitter i still can't get material with alpha with blendigo...how to set it up correctly? i have three materials - fire , alpha , and blend. blend goes on the mesh and the two go on their respective slots. right? what about blendmap? what i do wrong?

Um, am I missing something? There is no way my computer could handle that many objects.

Sorry for bump.

I don't see any part, where a computer needs to handle so many things...
Sorry for bump

So, ok.
3 mats, 1 blend and 2 to blend with the blend. 1 map.
That's fine

- Though, you don't need an own alpha: Blendigo should allow you by default to use a NULL material...
And there should be exactly one texture slot where your map should go in

I see you wanted to have the flames as a lightsource, and be cut out by the b/w alpha map. I read that's not possible though I did tried to use the color map as a light source and that works fine (I think).

I know read the tutorial on making those matrix light-emitting boards, and their approach is using blend material, is this not the same? Using a texture with emit? Am I wrong?

Hi, i did the tutorial with Indigo 1.0.5.2 and Blendigo 1.0.5b.
I noticed a strange behavior: When the sun shines in the same direction as the camera looks, the shadow of the plane is rendered. When the sun shines in the opposite direction, everything is OK. Any ideas?

Kram1032 · Post by **Kram1032** » Tue Apr 01, 2008 8:55 am

Oh, that's interesting...
But I guess, it results in the fact, that the lightpath is *far* simpler in the upper case than in the lower one...
One fix exists: Turn off BiDir

It works fine without "bidirectional"

Thanks!

Hey everyone, i ran across this tutorial and experienced some problems.
When i come to the part with uv-mapping, i got an error, I press the F key and then my image in uv/image editor just vanishes.
Any idea ?
