Blendigo 1.0.5 Beta

[CryptoQuick]

I've been having some troubles with Blendigo not exporting all of my materials, only a few of them. This is a serious problem! Any thoughts on this?

See, I'll have materials I can see inside of Blendigo, under the materials tab, but it doesn't export them, and they do not render.

[SmartDen]

i wonder how it can be blendigo exports every material assigned to a mesh. can you giv me your scene to analize?

[Vanessa07]

Maybe it's a layer problem, I had some troubles with an older version, blendigo exported only one layer (n°10), now I only use layer one for exporting, I no longer have problem

[CryptoQuick]

I don't believe it's a layer issue, but thanks for the input, Vanessa.

Here's the .blend file, for your perusal, SmartDen.

The only two materials that export for me are Plastic and Aluminum, even though I have settings for other materials.

It is all right what happened. you have two materials Aluminium and Plastic. The other two are emitters. And emitters are no materials. Therefore they will be not exported as materials but as meshlights.
For the next time, please look first if you scene rendered correctly befor you screaming: "It don't work!"

and check Normals on left and right spirals

and don't forget to apply scale and rotate


BTW Nice thing you modeled there

I was having the same problem till just now

i was developing a scene with blendigo 1.0.4 , and indigo 1.0.4 and it worked fine. i switched to 1.0.5 for both , and now i get

fatal error : "The Mesh 'CurveCircle.023' tried to use the material 'ring glow' which has not been defined.

the circle s a bezeir curve, the ring glow material is an "emmitter material"

so i converted the curves to meshes before export, and now it works...
it seems like blendigo used to do this automatically?

p.s., thanks for blendigo! its awesome, i love the material editor

You've right. Materials that assigned to Curves will be not taken in account. Thanx fpr bug report. I'll fix it ASAP

edit it happens only with emitters

Wow, those changes made a big difference! I'll have to remember that Screw makes your normals wonky... It makes sense. And applying scale and rotation makes the lines on the normals more averaged. I don't know exactly what that means in terms of the renderer, but it might make a difference in the emitter?

At any rate, thanks a lot, man, that's good advice and I appreciate the compliment. It's starting to turn out good, now that I've got all the basics down, I can get fancy. Maybe I'll post it to the WIP section soon.

I also forgot to mention-- The reason I was thinking the materials weren't behaving properly was because I was being silly and got confused between changing the material in Blendigo, which just switches between different materials you can edit, and changing the material inside of Blender, which changes the actual material of the object.

Hey guys, i cant even get the exporter to come up, i get this error message

"----------------------

it doesnt mean much to me...
could somebody give me a hand with this, though i'm sure its a really simple thing that i just missed

[Gog]

you need to have at least one object selected in the scene

[thisisicejoe]

i do, but still nothing
same message
