I know it will sounds stupid, but once you've selected a texture, how can you remove it aferwards ?

I had the same problem

There is no Uniform-Type in absorbtion and SSS. It is realy nessesary

Ooops - no stupid question - stupid programmer
I remember there was something i've forgotten . Will fix that asap... sorry.

@Smartden: yes there are still some extended material proberties missing... i hope to bring them in soon

^^ If I add a blend material in the exporter, assign the blendmap filename, and then afterwards if I want to remove the location of the blendmap file, I find it doesn't let me and I have to remove it manually from the xml afterwards. When I try remove it in the exporter then sometimes it also adds a bunch of '\' in the path to the blendmap unnecessarily.

On another note - this exporter has increased my Blender->Indigo workflow about a billion times. Thanks again Zuegs!

UPDATED AGAIN

- fixed possibility to remove texture
- absorbtion color preview inversed
- new material-type "External" that allows to include an external XML file (for test)

@neepneep: hope this solves also yours

You forgot SSS color inversion

The Preview button works for me under Linux with the material preview scene from kepler if I insert this line:

filename = os.path.basename(filename)

between these two lines:

f.write("cd \"" + indigopath + "\"\n")
----- insert here ----
f.write("nice -n 20 wine indigo.exe \"" + filename + "\" -t " + str(Threads.val))

in "def launchIndigo(filename):"
I think it has to do with the conversion slash<-->backslash not occurring in Indigo when loading the texture file, in fact in the console I obtain:

Loading Scene '/home/francesco/.wine/drive_c/Indigo-07/materialpreview.xml'...
Using Reinhard tone mapping with pre_scale=1.000000, post_scale=2.000000, burn=30.000000
trying to load texture from '\home\francesco\.wine\drive_c\Indigo-07\grid.jpg'...
couldn't open '\home\francesco\.wine\drive_c\Indigo-07\grid.jpg' for reading.

Thank you for this material editor!

ok i have a few problems.

1st: when i try and preview a material i get a console error that reads:

"global name "relmatsfn" is not defined"

all the objects in my scene have designated blender materials (material 0.01 etc.) and i have downloaded the previewmaterial.xml and put it into my indigo folder... with that my second problem.

2nd: when i hit render it gives me the following error:

"no such file or directory: c:\\programme\\indigo_07\\default.xml"

is that refering to the downloaded preview mat file or is there a file that i need to place into my indigo_06 (not 07) directory. and does it have to be in that exact position for the exporter to pick it up (for example my indigo is on my d: )

not sure if its just me or weather im doing something horably wrong. if so please dont hesitate to flame the noob XD

thanks alot. from what i can see this is an awesome exporter, looking forward to saving alot of time.

thanks
mat

One request : can we have an option to activate the new .igi format ?

[zuegs]

Small UPDATE

- "save IGI" button
- reworked "export mesh", "sep. mesh file" and "sep. mat file"

@matsta: please modify path in your "indigowrapper.conf" file to match your indigo install-directory.

@GNUdo: thanks, yup, currently linux-support isn't very working. I need help from a linux-scripter to fix this as i have only windows . which type of slashes you see in the exporter-GUI for your texture?

@SmartDen: , not sure about sorry, when i set green-scattering i can also see green-colored scattering from the media. Only the light that passes medium without scattering is magenta. So i think scattering color matches the color i can see from media???

And what is this?

I think it must be inversed

[manitwo]

tested this script for the first time .... wow! really good work!

two things i discovered:
dont know if im doing something wrong but it seams that it exports
both - "linear" and "reinhard" tonemapping at the same time
it also exports a null material by default (but maybe that is intended).

thank you for your work

Holy "beeeep" the script is fantastic
Thnx zuegs for this great work.

I've right with tonemapping and null-material, but it have no effect to the scene. Bun anyway it must be corrected
