CINDIGO 1.1.9 Beta
for Indigo 1.1.9


a little test with light layers/specular with emission


download exporter:
PC Version
(or below)

The file contains PC versions for R10 and R9. (R10 users will have to rename the "cindigo1.1.9.cdl_R10" to "cindigo1.1.9.cdl")
Make sure you have the newest version of quicktime installed!

Good beginner tutorials can be found here (german and english, a bit outdated)

please tell me if you find bugs or have specific requests. i will try to fix/implement as fast as possible.

1.1.9 changelog:

* again, i have lost overview of what i did since the last release...
* updated all exported material data to the 1.1.9 specs
* applying textures to luminance/color/bump/displacement in the c4d mat will override the constant values set for color/exponent/etc in the material helper
* added new subdivision options
* added emission to the material helper (only base_emission). set a texture for it in the c4d mats luminance channel
* rgb gain can now be < 1
* support for light layers (only 0-7 as currently in the indigo gui)
* indigos scale factor isnt used anymore. global scale is directly applied to the meshes. this should fix the "invertible bug" and confusion about displacement


some of the issues in 1.1.9:

* phong materials wont work. this seems to be an indigo issue (parsing unexpected element, stopping) - no sure about this anymore
* applying textures to the luminance channel in a c4d mat will not work either (fatal error)
* putting an emitting material on a primitive sphere will crash indigo (i mean crash as "crash and burn")
* i have to admit that materials are pretty confusing right now, and its not very transparent which material features are supported

I don't quite understand what are the new features these scenes try to portrait...

big thx fused

which scenes?

Thanks fused!

The scene(s) rendered in this very thread

[fused]

a little test with light layers/specular with emission

thought that was quite obvious. this is one scene, rendered only once, light layers have been used t scale the three light sources: two meshes with an emitting specular material and one plane with an emitting diffuse material.

Let me tell you what I see, I see different glass colored balls and one light. That's it. I see the caustics from the square light, and I see a constant light distributed scene, if you didn't tell me I would never knew...

I think it would be rather cool to include this scenes exposing new features, if not on the archive at least in the thread itself.

[fused]

well obviously you did not look very closely, because you can see that the spheres emit light + i didnt use aborption or sss to get them colored(white caustics) + there is a description under the pic explaining what it is.

Thank you fused !!!
