The bug I encountered in 3.2.2 is still alive:
In the Texture Editor a button reload texture would be nice. At the moment when a texture is loaded and i will overwrite it with a 2d app, indigo will not recognize it.

Following procedure will crash indigo 3.2.5

- open indio and go to "new material"
- stop the renderer
- go to "base" material and change its type to blend
- start the renderer

cheers

Replicated, Indigo crashes if restarted while under 'material A is not a valid material' (empty slot) notification.

Thank you for the bug reports solarray.

A Vignetting checkbox in the GUI inside the camera tab is missing...
Also a "Reset Camera Button" from the igs data would be nice!

Hello,

Opening *.igq files crashes Indigo. Exported from Blender 2.61 using the latest export script and Indigo 3.2.5.

Upon opening the *.igq file for an animation, Indigo opens and immediately throws a 'Runtime Error!' titled with 'Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library'. Any ideas?

I just finished a 3 days rendering marathon for a animation using igq done by cindigo, so it doesn't seem to be a Indigo related issue but maybe for the exporter?!
here is a line how my igq is build:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no" ?>
<render_queue>
    <item>
        <scene_path>C:\temp\Homecinema_frame000000.igs</scene_path>
        <output_path>D:\- Homecinema Final -\homecinema_frame000000</output_path>
        <halt_time>-1.000000</halt_time>
        <halt_spp>100.000000</halt_spp>
    </item>
</render_queue>
Maybe your paths are invalid???

Hm... I'll check that out.

Also, is it possible to get a .zip file of the Indigo installation? I'm trying to use it on a different computer where I don't have admin rights...

simply zip the Indigo Folder of your main System... done :)
The only thing you miss from the exe files are the included exporters and the registry entry that some exporters refer to.

Opening the options dialog in the GUI and closing it let the samples/s go CRAZY!

Sorry for triple posting... but... well...

Just to Bump the darkening Issue on GPU rendering for Phong Materials, I just realized that using glass Acel. in GPU mode you end up with even more different change in brightness! Check the attached images by switching between them:
mckinley_actual_windowfuzz_CPU_glass_acel.jpg
CPU rendered Reference: PT + Glass Acel.
mckinley_actual_windowfuzz_GPU_glass_acel.jpg
GPU: PT + Glass Acel.
mckinley_actual_windowfuzz_GPU.jpg
GPU: PT
I used the scene from here by Frutiger during "crashtesting", I hope thats ok...

My idea on this is probably naive, but it could be that activating glass accel is diverting some of the computing power into that system, requiring more time to reach the same sample density for a given surface.

Another discrepancy I noticed back then between GPU and CPU rendering was the apparent bump depth being deeper with GPU. This means more rays absorbed with GPU, less bounces overall. edit: the ray absorbtion may even be stronger with a stepped bump, like bricks here.

When the sun is located at exactly 90.00 degrees zenith you get an odd stretching/line with the original sky model, it works fine with the new captured simulation.
