Pretty much all features except alpha rendering for some reason.

It supports alpha rendering just fine.

Render Settings -> Rendering Mode -> Custom

Then check BiDir, Metropolis, etc. and if you check Alpha Mask, it will render with alpha :)

Hi There,

any plans or release date, when will be the indigo renderer's new scatter engine in the blender exporter plugin implemented or supported?
I think this is a must have feature.
all the best,

@vis4arch

You can already do a hell of a lot with Blender's particle systems and group instancing. You get quite a lot of control from within Blender. Have you tried that?

Hi There,

yep, i did some exterior projects with blender PS and indigo ... just the export time is ridiculously long, and the memory usage is also high.
all the best,

Quick request: For emitters, could we enable <backface_emit> from the Blendigo GUI? Really handy for things such as fire and flames... Annoying to edit the .igs file each time you export :P

+1
and a check box within Indigo's material emit settings, if you create an emitting material from scratch.

Possible bug

Post by agentwd40 » Sun Jan 04, 2015 8:51 pm

Blendigo is having trouble with more then 4 external materials. I have 10 poly models with linked materials. (Indigo Render material Settings - Material Type - External.) If I render out more then 4 external materials Blendigo renders everything with the same material. Less then 4 and it renders out fine. All textures and materials are in the same folder. I created the materials in Indigo. I've tried pigm and normal igm files.
- using Blender 2.72b, current Indigo, current blendigo.

Check your .pigm, check Material Name property in the .pigm files, some of your pigm's may have same Material Name, so indigo replace materials with the same Material Name, I used about 20 external materials all works fine.

It's my fault. I didn't have the blended layers named. Went back, renamed them and everything works.
