Can't seem to change the emitting power

Post by Oscar J » Sat Mar 31, 2012 4:23 am

Hi, I'm new here. :) Setting up materials in Indigo seemed fairly easy until I got to this problem. How come that these materials doesn't emit? Why is my scene so dark although my light source is set to maximum possible light? :?

I managed to solve the problem by flipping the normals of the light planes. Here's what I came up with! :)

Nice start!

Materials need some work.

I'd recommend, however, that you move to the newest versions of all software involved:

Blender 2.61 (Which is what the latest Blendigo works with)
Blendigo 3.2.6
Indigo 3.2.9

This will make it easier to get help :wink:

I tried to, but the plugin kept crashing when I tried to render the scene. I rather work in 2.49 too, but I guess I'll have to go with the stream. :wink:

Could you please tell me which materials that needs work? I'm staring myself blind at this scene. :shock:

Also, for how long will my post have to be approved my an admin before showing up? Is it because I'm new here?

Not exactly sure what you mean with crashing. Would you be able to provide a Blender console output after the crash ? It would definitely help determining what the problem is.

Every posting shows up as soon as it's posted. No one here approves posts! Just behave yourself :lol: :lol: :lol:

Walls and floor seem to have a diffuse color (albedo) texture but no bump or displacement texture, which would help the realism of the render. I think the shot is very nice and deserves that work to make it great.

Particularly the wall on the right, close to the camera would really benefit from either from a displacement map, or you'd have to model the bricks so the recessed mortar lines can be seen.

Not sure I explained that well.

I will post the crash message next time I try it. About the post approvals, my first posts actually had to be approved, as it seems.

Thanks for the critics, this project continues in my other thread here. :) http://www.indigorenderer.com/forum/vie ... =3&t=11513
