Aperture diffraction test:

Windows 7 x64, Indigo 2.2.12 x64, Blender 2.49b x64, Blendigo 2.3.2, UAC is off

BTW, Blendigo 2.3.2 shows the "Broken installation", but still loads and works.

Console shows this:

Code: Select all

Compiled with Python version 2.6.1.
Warning: could not determine argv[0] path
Checking for installed Python... got it!

BLENDIGO v2.3.2

  Windows-platform     : win32
  os.sep               : \
  matdbPreviews        : D:\SET\blender-2.49b-x64\.blender\scripts\blendigopkg\matdb\previews
  assetsPath           : D:\SET\blender-2.49b-x64\.blender\scripts\blendigopkg\assets
  matdbDownloads       : D:\SET\blender-2.49b-x64\.blender\scripts\blendigopkg\matdb
Now Blendigo allows to test only Post Process AD, because when Post Process is ON , Blendigo writes this into the .IGS

Code: Select all

<post_process_diffraction>true</post_process_diffraction>
But when the Post Process is OFF, Blendigo writes nothing to .IGS about this setting, so there no <post_process_diffraction> tag at all. In the Indigo Technical reference is stated this:
post_process_diffraction

If true, aperture_diffraction is simulated using a filter applied to the image buffer, instead of perturbation of
rays. This technique is generally faster and less noisy, but slightly less accurate.

type: boolean
default value: true
So, when nothing is written in the .IGS about the post process setting - it's automatically ON.

Here are the results of the Post Process AD test:

Thanks for the report dakiru, that's quite useful and I should be able to fix these errors easily. :)

Hi doug, would be nice if animation rendering starts when first frame is exported instead of waiting the end of export

thx

The next release will come soon and will fix the Aperture Diffraction problems reported by dakiru.

The 'Broken Install' error is not yet fixed, but the next release will improve the error message so that I can get a better idea of what is going on.

If there's nothing else reported, I will try to get 2.3.3 out in the next few days.

Also, it'd be great if only objects with a track (location, rotation, scaling) got exported every frame, otherwise they get exported once so that you don't have 3000 copies of the same hi-poly couch bogging down your system. Making arch. viz animations would be much easier that way :)

Looking forward to the next release! Been retardedly busy lately...

@Tom

I don't think the situation regarding animated meshes is quite that simple - what about meshes that deform but don't otherwise move/scale/rotate ?

I'll see what I can do to detect various mesh animations, because I think it would be a worthwhile optimisation.

True say... Maybe a simple option, for now, of toggling a static/dynamic setting per object? If it's static, it will take it's state at whatever frame it starts with and uses that, if it's set to dynamic then it'll export every frame?

I think all deformations also have some sort of track so it can be keyframed. However, hooks and constraints could be a bit different...

One other thing: the <step_blend> option is not available in Blendigo Material Tab (using BLEND material).

Hi, dougal2,

I get this, when I start Blendigo:

@dakiru

Just a thought... are you using a 32bit python installation with the 64bit Blender ? That could be the source of the problem.

If not, try first a 32bit Blender, then try a 64bit python install.

I have python-2.6.5.amd64 installed and the Python console shows this:

Code: Select all

Python 2.6.5 (r265:79096, Mar 19 2010, 18:02:59) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Do I have to uninstall Python x64 and change it for x86, than try Blender x86?

Because now, with 64-bit Python, Blender x86 shows this in console:

Code: Select all

Compiled with Python version 2.6.2.
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Checking for installed Python... No installed Python found.
Only built-in modules are available.  Some scripts may not run.
Continuing happily.
