Indigo v1.1.18 was and still is great, and I think it was ahead of its time. I had an issue with the old version and this particular scene. I was getting nasty artifacts on the white mesh objects. It looked like some of the co-planar triangles were showing some type of shadow. I increased the ray_or...

I haven't posted here in about 10 years, but lately I've been experimenting with Indigo v1.1.18 (the last free version). It's still has very good quality, but render times are somewhat slow. I did this mostly as a test for the golfball shader. So here's my latest test rendering, which takes about 45...

I know violet will be obsolete because of the upcoming integrated tone-mapper in the next release, but I think I found a bug. Has anyone noticed that if you open an igi and set the tone-mapping scale factors to the same values in your igs scene file, it doesn't produce the same results as the png ou...

Good. So if gamma is going to be (or might be) available in the GUI, then so can exposure because it is so simple to implement. I vote to have these two basic adjustments added to the GUI. It would be more intuitive than messing with the tone mapping.

I just tried out the new Violet beta and it's great. Now am I missing something or is it true that there's no gamma & exposure correction like in HDRshop? Maybe the same corrections can be done through the existing tools, but I don't know how or if it's there.

Yes, the fix you provided also works just fine.

I keep getting "camera not found" errors, on scenes that I import into the current scene.

I fixed it by changing line 742 from
camData = Camera.Get('Camera')
to
camData = Camera.Get(camObj.data.name)
This way it won't crash if your cam data is named Camera.001.

Thanks for this update. It works great.

Moment of Inspiration (“MoI”) is a spline-based modeler -- like a stripped-down version of Rhino.

Boy, that's just a little darker. But a little more would be better. Maybe plain-old black would do just fine.

The current color #526C75 doesn't offer too much contrast and makes posts a little hard to read. Can the text color be darkened just a little?

Thanks. I use the default settings for the sun and did not edit the xml at all -- except to increase the phong exponent for the ag.nk shader because the Blender max is 512. <skylight> <sundir>0.866025 -0.000000 0.500000</sundir> <turbidity>2.000000</turbidity> <sky_gain>0.005000</sky_gain> </skyligh...

Ooops, I meant TeaPot Party Room. I saw something like this on the Maxwell site (and in Rad's tut) and wanted to try it out myself. I used my own Newell Teapot generator script for Blender, which also makes the spoon, cup, and yoda at any resolution you desire: http://gamma-ray.home.comcast.net/tmp/...

Very nice! I should write a wings exporter. Could you post the materials?

That's excellent! How big is the window in the skylight version?
