Indigo Renderer 4 public beta
Re: Indigo Renderer 4 public beta
Yes, atm for the actual state of the beta keep CPU based OpenCL rendering deactivated, it does rather harm the overall speed!
Re: Indigo Renderer 4 public beta
Will OpenVDB or any other method of rendering smoke and fire be supported, ever?
OnoSendai has shown back in 2013, in the thread "Experiments.." a few renders of smoke from Blender. Years later, still nothing.
This is the only thing currently preventing me from picking up a copy of Indigo. I don't care how I would feed the data to the renderer, even a basic ASCII format that I can put into a scene file would be a great start, because I can write a script for my 3D package (Blender, Maya, whatever) that would export the fluid cache into a format that Indigo can read.
Ono has shown this is possible and in the trunk, but beyond that, nothing. There aren't any mentions of any volume-importing abilities in the technical manual either. It never came to us users, but it's obviously working.
If only a simple way like I mentioned above would be exposed through the scene file, I would call it a day and pick up a copy. But ideally, I would just point Indigo to an OpenVDB cache and it would do it's magic.
I've tried every renderer under the sun and Indigo is the closest thing to what I need.
Hopefully the dev team at least says will something like this (ideally OpenVDB support) ever happen? Because a lot of people would love it and use it.
Cheers, Jack

Re: Indigo Renderer 4 public beta
OpenVDB support, sometimes in the future, would be amazing, especially now, when the Realflow is hitting the C4D with it's new plug-in that will feature a mesh engine based on the OpenVDB library! :D

Was wondering about Open VBD too...JackFD wrote:Will OpenVDB or any other method of rendering smoke and fire be supported, ever?

"OnoSendai has shown back in 2013" < What Ono can do in 2013 we still can't in 2016 :D:D
It would be cool if Open VBD would be added. Let's hope!
Re: Indigo Renderer 4 public beta
Coming in the next build, probably: double-sided thin and glossy transparent material GPU support - the last two core materials to be supported on GPU.
Re: Indigo Renderer 4 public beta
Nice for my iClone tests, so I will not need to manually change the glossy transparent materials anymore.

Re: Indigo Renderer 4 public beta
Just dicovered a crash when I set a ground face material to be a shadow catcher and started rendering in Shadows mode. Tied it several times. I sent the dump file to support@indigorenderer.com

You need to save your scene a s aPIGS and not IGS Antonis, so textures and meshes will be packed together :)

Re: Indigo Renderer 4 public beta
I had a similar issue cause my laptop is old and 32bit. Don't know for sure though.
Re: Indigo Renderer 4 public beta
Ono,
Any chance to troubleshoot/fix the issue with older Macbooks and iMacs? Myself and a few others were unable to get the GPU going on those. Hardware supports OpenCL (NVIDIA GTX 775M).
It crashes on kernel builds.
