Sorry I am not checking Indigo forum so often. Actually it uses much less system RAM and GPU Vram when rendering external mesh than when using original model file/dummy. So before I was also using transmutr to lower the file sizes of plants but in order to be remotely usable I had to lower geometry ...

Yeah I got it, but I did a test and to be fair, using external mesh helps a lot in reducing memory usage. I don't know how it works but external mesh have multiple times less MB in files. So attached are files, images 1 and 2 show .skp file of external mesh component and folder of actual .igs meshes...

Hi guys, I am using SketchUp and as always there is a problem with heaviness of the model while working in it, especially if there are complex and detailed vegetation models, so my question is: Are external mesh, dummy and original model itself same in terms of memory usage for Indigo? Lets take exa...

Sure, will do!

As soon as I get some free time lol!

wow 6 hours , you must have made nerves from steel , when i renders my image longer then 10 min i am quite impatient ... maybe u can tell us something about your render machine especially cpu and GPU model and brand . Yeah well the project was quite long, complex and serious. So I left each and eve...

So long render time, but still visible many light artefacts...it is because for GPU rendering and denoising does not possible set max contribution...I dont know it is bug or some limitation of GPU, but for me personally it complicates the work a lot... small fireflies with high intensity will make ...

Very nice work! What render mode did you use ?

Hey Headroom,


i used pathtracing GPU.

may i ask , interiors renders are done with GPU or CPU ? if GPU how long it take in average one image ? Hello Jan, I did them with GPU and denoiser.... average is around 6-14 hours. The thing is that I left each one over the night so depends when I went to sleep and came back to work tomorrow. :lol:

Two years later and I still can't figure out how you managed to do such contrast of light and shadow, while maintaining perfect env sky in the background and absolutely nowhere burn...... /cryingonfloorwhileinfetalposition

Many thanks guys, I appreciate it! :D However I am not really happy with my ENV map lighting. I spent countless hours trying to make it realistic but simply failed heavily each time. I saw that Eneen is doing some amazing shots of exterior and I did ask him in the comments if he could share a secret...

Additional renders, too many of them lol!

Hi again guys, long time no see! :D here is my, so far, career project! It is apartment complex in Laax, Switzerland, the project task was to plan and design, both exterior and interior, two new buildings and one addition to existing building in mix of contemporary and swiss-french chalet styles. Lo...

Amazing renders! What stuns me most is the env map, lighting and shadows. Any tips on those, would be very helpful! I simply can't achieve that combination of env map saturation and so realistic lighting and shadows!

Many thanks in advance!

Thanks pixie! Yes I agree with you, it is not very suitable for living. However my client will rent this apartment for holidays via Airbnb or Booking. Therefor his request was that it should accommodate up to 10 guests (including 2 sleeping in living room on sofa), this being said, along with additi...

Thank Ono! Yes it looks weird and I have no clue why it looks like that, as you said, it looks like its in a glass or smth. I did follow instructions as mentioned in Bubs post: https://www.indigorenderer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=13371 I mean, it is blend material and both materials are .png fi...
