mapping images

[Archiman86]

I am trying to map an image in blender for a scene for my rendering. however, when i render it in indigo it doesnt show up..is it possible to do such things...?

Make sure you assign the texture map in the exporter (not just the Blender material editor), and copy the map to the indigo root directory.

doesn't even need to be in the root.
You just have to define the path inside the exporter

AND you also can use only ONE UV-Map and only UV-Map.
Origin-map and stuff isn't supported in indigo

doesn't even need to be in the root.

Thanks for the clarification . . . I just checked a while ago and discovered this change myself.


@Archiman86: Are you trying to texture map a mesh? . . . or use an image for background/HDRI lighting? The info provided so far applies to the first situation. As for the second, I haven't tried that yet myself.

I have a few images that I would like to use..I have not tried them again, because I am working on finishing up the modeling aspect of the ferrari. But I would like to place the ferrari symbol in a few locations on the car and also use an image for part of the backgorund...havnt decided what exactly yet.

I am still having issues rendering in indigo. I have tow images here, first one is with yafray and second with indigo. I cant seem to get the image to show up in indigo.

-only UV mapping is supported
-make sure your texture is a .jpg. i think there were a couple other formats that work but to be safe use .jpg
-make sure youve selected the texture in Blendigo (the Indigo exporter)
-make sure your texture file paths correspond to the ones in the exported .igs file (to see if it got exported correctly) and change accordingly

-make sure you know how to UV map and object
