hey smart - sorry for being annoying - but is there any way to use igm's within blendigo? is it planned and possible?

Yes it's possible Pxl666 i use igm file with "External" type shader only restriction that i know is in the name infact the Blender shader it must be the same name of the igm file...

I found that some scenes that have history of scripts being used tend to be in some way messed up. Wasn't there a way to clear python cache in the file, so you are starting with clean slate? This might be why you guys have your mapping problems.

i dont know...which version of indigo/blendigo are u using pinko? im using newest blendigo/indigo and tried several igm's but none of them works...are u under windows? can this be related to blender??

I would check weather the path to your mat.igm is correctly specified in your scene.igs file.

In conclusion to the error message, this was set wrongly.

did u see the pix attached?

i use Indigo 1.1.14 and Blendigo 1.1.13 under windows xp pro, my shaders *.igm are both in the directory of my project i use Ruby and Diamond and they work very well... i see your image and the one reason that i could think is the extension in the name of your blender shader.....try without the extension (.igm)...

yes pxl666 the problem is the name of your blender material....i try with my scene to rename my ruby in ruby.igm and in this way i reproduce the same error...
Luca.

Uh sry >.<

@ Pinko - i see theres a problem with internal material names - i mean names within an igm file...i didnt get it exactly right but i see there seems to be a problem. did u try any other matt? like http://www.indigorenderer.com/joomla/in ... Itemid=107
or http://www.indigorenderer.com/joomla/in ... Itemid=107

do they work for u?

cheers

regarding IGM's i figured that one has to check the names WITHIN an IGM file and make sure they are the same as the names within blender/blendigo tabs (they very often are not...) and pray...i still have problems with textured/displaced/bumped matts - u have to check uv layer names within blender/blendigo tabs and within IGM....pain

anyone can tell is there workaround?

I try asap Pxl666
ciao
Luca.

Ok i try the material that u suggest me and you are right dont works i hope Smart tell us where is the problem or what is the metod to use them...
In my scene there are diamond.igm and Ruby.igm and they work fine...
Hope you undestand my poor english
Luca.

Sorry I haven't responded on my error. The scene is quite large.
I looked up the default_meshes.xml and found this:


It doesn't seem like Indigo accepts that.
