Is there any chance to have a viewport render mode like LuxCore has?
Or is that technically impossible?
I would expect a simple yes/no answer.

Hi, I get this error when I try to export a scene: Export > Indigo Scene (I know most people just use the regular render button, which works fine, but I have an old habit of exporting the scene and then running Indigo separately...)
Same error with both Blender 2.83 and 2.9

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Shamus Clisset\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.90\scripts\addons\indigo_exporter\operators\__init__.py", line 554, in execute
    return super().execute(context.scene)
TypeError: execute() missing 1 required positional argument: 'depsgraph'

Hi, I'm having some other issues when trying to render an animation using motion blur - I get errors that a certain igmesh is being used by another process, or that a certain material is not defined. When I turn off motion blur the frames render without errors. I'll try to capture the exact error text next time and post here, but I am in the middle of a deadline so I had to just move ahead without motion blur on this one. This is with Blender 2.9 and Indigo 4.4.14 on Windows 10...

Hey there!
Can you help me with this things:

1- How can i enable denoising using the Blendigo-Addon? I need it for animation export. Or is there a way to set it in Indigo-Renderer as enabled by default?

2- Is there a way to export a frame but keeping all the settings that are done before inside the Indigo-Renderer?
As example i export one frame, setup materials etc and save it. And when i hit export again i would like to not overwrite all settings. If this would work for all frames that would be helpful.

3- When using a hemi-sun to set an environment image it is rotated by 90° by default. Seems to be an export-bug. Just to let you know ;)

Hi @MZ and @fused,

A while back I played around with integrating the Indigo SDK with Blender through Ctypes with some pretty neat results. I know that the licensing issues prevent that from being an official add-on - which is a shame, because that would be the way to get a very tight integration into viewports, etc. - but one thing that might be useful from it is a way to compose materials in the node editor. I notice that in Blender 2.9x the focus is almost completely on using nodes for materials, so even the texture panel is not used anymore, which makes it a bit counterintuitive to apply textures and such.

If it sounds useful, I can upload the code for the node-based system? It basically lets you use the shader node system for making Indigo materials and export them, so maybe a good addition to the current Blendigo...

This is what the nodes look like currently. The nice thing is that you could have Indigo nodes side-by-side with normal Blender / Cycles nodes, to make it easier to switch back and forth, or share image textures.

New Indigo user here. I recently bought a license of Indigo to use primarily for Blender. I'd love to be able to use indigo with this workflow.

Blendigo 4.3.0 issues

Yep, same here when trying to export from Blender 2.92.
The version for 2.79 seems to work fine. (I usually export via Render-button.)

Hi @fused

Both versions of Blendigo (for 2.79 & 2.8) don't write the <splat_filter>-tag into the .igs-file.
So always fastbox (Indigo 'default'?) is used (and will be added, when re-saving the .igs from within Indigo. Has then to be changed manually).
