It's hard to say without running tests, but basically, orders of a magnitude. You were limited before to < 10,000 tris. Now, go ahead and try 1,000,000 tris. Seriously fast- I just wish I could compile it for Linux and OSX (huge mac fan by the way). Try the included cornell box scene - it should be instant.

Fast like lightning fast, like exporting to .obj (or faster)
Er, friendly said, I represent Maya 8 users here and we are unhappy:
- The camera was working ok before, that's not true anymore (since the last update before 0.6.2 I think) That's the most annoying, no working cam...
- Sky Light creates a nurbs sphere with history and lambert1 assigned, nothing else; that may be fine but I don't know The funniest part is that I have desactivated History in Maya's status bar... And it says "no sun in scene". Well, I agree
- Lambert with incadescence are showing diffuse only in Object's Editor, but are translated ok tho.
That is said really without animosity of any sort, I... er, we are just disapointed a bit and maybe I'm pointing some features wich are just not implemented/documented/known by me...
Removing manually connections from lighLinker is ok for test scenes, a camera messed up is just unfair, I could manage to use Indigo without that. I understand it is working straight with Maya 7 and that devs don't own a copy of Maya 8: good job, so, keep it up !
No kill-joy here

What do you mean it's not working?CTZn wrote: - The camera was working ok before, that's not true anymore (since the last update before 0.6.2 I think) That's the most annoying, no working cam...
Yes, it's probably that. Reactivate history and try againCTZn wrote: - Sky Light creates a nurbs sphere with history and lambert1 assigned, nothing else; that may be fine but I don't know The funniest part is that I have desactivated History in Maya's status bar...

Incandescense shouldn't show up in the Object EditorCTZn wrote: - Lambert with incadescence are showing diffuse only in Object's Editor, but are translated ok tho.
Hope that helped,

When i try to load the IndigoMeshExport in the plugin window i get this message:
Error: Plug-in, "indigoMeshExport" was compiled against too old a version of the Maya API and is thus incompatible with the current Maya version. (indigoMeshExport) //
I use maya 6.5 and used the maya 6 version of the MLL file.

Thank you for answering Dude !
Is it wrong to use a square ratio ?
Then Indigo gives this:
The fun comes from that the only red geometry in my scene is the left wall
Here is the xml scene, so you can check that: Cornell_02.xml.zip
I sincerly hope you won't take anything wrong coming from me, I second that I'm aware you are develloping for Maya 7 and I know (well, I can imagine) how frustrating it is to raise a script or software. And to have testers like me
I'm with you, thx !
PS: Images from within Maya were taken on a previous scene than the one used for export, I didn't save this one.
PS2:
- The box is 100cm wide, bbox <-50 0 50 ; 50 100 -50>.
- Camera position is <0 50 196.096>
- Up position is <0 55 196.096>
- Aim position is <0 50 0>
So the camera is facing -x scene wise. My scene settings and MTI is Y up.
- As an indication, the (white) back side wall of the box has bbox: <-50 100 50 ; -50 0 -50>
I mean: this is how the camera is set up in Maya:What do you mean it's not working?

Ok, I'll test that... once I get it clear with the camera (actually I can manage everything going wrong but the camera).Yes, it's probably that. Reactivate history and try again
Mmm, not sure what the Object Editor is for, at the end... and the cuty little materials icons don't show up any more (and display is messy with long shape names), is that a normal evolution ?Incandescense shouldn't show up in the Object Editor

Here is an .obj version of my scene, so you can figure out more easily. Look for sets within Outliner:
CTZn_CB.zip
My scene settings are cm, the camera was not resized, and every node of the camera group placed using the Channel Box.
AND FINALLY, relax, I'll wait a bit for MTI to evolve toward Maya 8...

homafloek: The Maya 6 files I compiled with came from Arne. I don't know if they were 6.5 or 6.0. That might be the problem. Arne, what version you running?
CTZn: I haven't checked your scene yet, I'm actually looking at another bug. Sorry
Lets try this for creating light emitters (edit: assignSG might not work):
Here is what it looks like (note the arrow is black when the light isn't selected and can't be edited or transformed as it is a reference object):

Code: Select all
global proc meshLight() {
// create poly plane
string $lightPoly[] = `polyPlane -n emitter -sx 1 -sy 1 -w 5 -h 5 -ch 0`;
// get the poly plane shape node and triangulate
string $polyShape[] = `listRelatives -shapes $lightPoly[0]`;
polyTriangulate -ch 0 $polyShape[0];
// create lambert material
float $eRGB[] = { 0.75, 0.75, 0.75 };
string $lightLambert = `shadingNode -asShader lambert -name emitterMaterial`;
setAttr ($lightLambert+".incandescence") -type double3 $eRGB[0] $eRGB[1] $eRGB[2];
// assign shader group
assignSG $lightLambert $lightPoly[0];
// create curve arrow
string $curveName = `curve -ws -d 1 -p 0 0 0 -p 0 4 0 -p 1 3 0 -p -1 3 0 -p 0 4 0 -p 0 3 1 -p 0 3 -1 -p 0 4 0`;
string $curveShape[] = `listRelatives -shapes $curveName`;
// make the arrow a child of the emitter
parent $curveName $lightPoly[0];
// make curve transform and shape nodes reference objects so they can't be selected
setAttr ($curveName+".overrideEnabled") 1;
setAttr ($curveName+".overrideDisplayType") 2;
setAttr ($curveShape[0]+".overrideEnabled") 1;
setAttr ($curveShape[0]+".overrideDisplayType") 2;
}
meshLight();

No problem yourdaftpunk, just keep going
In fact looks like the camera is rotated 90°, like forced to be facing -z. One reason may be because I didnt rotate the camera group wich has still its default orientation, that is toward -z precisely... and at least this time the zoom looks correct, I mean in a previous export the cam was just crazy zooming, and now it is aligned ok, just facing an exterior wall not the opened part.
