Blender 4.3 can be made to work with the newest version of Blendigo. If there is interest, I can post the process/hack of how I got that to work. I believe the normal "install from disk" installation process of Add-Ons that was still possible in 4.0 is no longer working. I move the respective folder...

A macOS version that natively support Apple silicon would indeed be nice.
I suspect, however that this is a serious effort due to the differences in architecture of the graphics hardware.

Works just fine in Blender 4.0.2 on my machine!

Yep, devine it is!

... If only bidir was available for gpu

That would indeed be awesome!

If you delete the "Custom Vertex Normals Super High Rez STL" the file will get a lot smaller. Exporting the model in this high resolution version was the only somewhat acceptable workaround prior to this fix. The other two models, can serve perfectly fine to demonstrate the effect. Also, this model ...

Attached is a zip file containing the Blender file. The main object was exported from a CAD software as a triangulated mesh in two different resolutions as a .obj. The .obj data contains custom vertex normals. The .stl object has a similar resolution as the lower resolution .obj. The material on the...

@pixie the issue is resolved as Blendigo now supports custom vertex normals. Do you still want the files ?

This new exporter update, amongst other things, handles custom vertex normals properly

With the latest release of Blendigo 4.5.0 this issue has been fixed and Blendigo does support Custom Split Vertex Normals!

sorry, google translate misinterpretation

Ahh, thanks for clarifying

Either way, it's good to see that there is still interest on both sides it moving this forward!
Thanks for your participation!

@Zalewsky I think the term "inexerienced" is a mischaracterization. Depending on what you use Indigo for you may simply not care. This issue, for example does not matter that much to me, although I appreciate that you and @MX are addressing it.

As an external material the .igm file would look like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <scenedata> <material> <name>diffuse_white</name> <diffuse> <albedo> <constant> <rgb> <rgb>0.8 0.8 0.8</rgb> <gamma>2.2</gamma> </rgb> </constant> </albedo> </diffuse> </material> </scenedata>

@MZ that's awesome. Thank you!

I am looking through the exporter code to see if this behavior can be changed. In the meantime, would an external material work ?
