Material Preview Scene

Post by dag » Sun Jan 27, 2013 3:23 pm

This thing is doneski!

There's 10cm, 1m and 10m versions of the scene. Install by unzipping the contents to the indigo program folder. I believe indigo only supports one material scene at a time unlike the old mat editor, but you can run them from anywhere as they use relative paths. Remember to backup ...\Indigo Renderer\data\preview_scenes\mat_db\matpreviewscene_igmesh.igs if you want to keep the current material scene file. That's the only file being overwritten.

All source files are in https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByfHqmp ... ZSOEU/edit. Uploading that here went on forever. Since blendigo doesn't support tabulated data and exports color as gamma 1, there's some igs fixes included.

Yes that's gorgeous.
I tried IMMEDIATELY to install it, but somehow SkIndigo keeps rendering the elder preview scene..

I am missing something..

It won't work for SkIndigo because SkIndigo uses a preview scene that is installed inside your SketchUp plugins folder. Don't bother trying to install it there because it still won't work. I am guessing the only way for you to use this scene right now is for rendering previews using the Indigo GUI.

I am currently working on preview scene related stuff in SkIndigo...stay tuned. I am not sure if I would add this scene to SkIndigo unless it became the new official scene, I guess we'll see.
