Rendering a glass material with IndigoMax 0.50. If one renders inside the Max frame buffer, no problems. However, if one decides to export the scene instead to Indigo standalone (which I prefer), the following message appears: Scene parsing error: Node with UID 8 was not a medium node. I have tried ...

Finally!! I thought it was just me, and I have actually mentioned this before here. The exporter has gamma on or something. If I make a material in 3dsMax, the colour in the renderer is completely off. It is imperative for the work I do that the colours are 100% to the client's specification. There ...

Thanks Ono, I'll give it go ASAP.

What is the latest version of IndigoMax that is bundled with Indigo Renderer 4.0.45? There seems not be any info in the 3dsMax subsection (lack of activity in that section for quite some time now)...

Yes CTZn, the contours (lines) were added after. Admittedly, I had to use a well known "Toon" effect and shadow pass from another renderer and blend them in. It was easier to achieve those effects elsewhere, while Indigo was easier for the MatID. Basically using the easiest straightforward methods t...

Thanks Zom-B. Taking a look at that link, I actually agree with all the things you mentioned about MatID. At large resolution that I am using like 4960x7016 (A2), it does take time to clear sufficiently. But the colour thing would be quite handy. Hopefully Glare can look into these ideas at some poi...

Long time no post. At the moment I am using Indigo to generate images using Material ID in a Pop Art style (a bit unconventional to normal images). Example below. Most of the time, the Material ID generates a good set of colours, but where there is a clash, I then manually change this in GIMP. What ...

Damn - well spotted... The Black Market theme was too dark for me - I am actually using Glass Onion right now and my theme for Indigo to match 3dsMax colours. The white bits I got around by leaving the entire Properties, Render Settings etc menus in its default colours because - as I mentioned in th...

So, it appears that Indigo inherits those characteristics from the windows color style itself, and I can't find a way to change it. If someone figures it out, it would be amazing! Only thing left is to change the troublesome white/lightgray areas in the picture. Any help would be appreciated! Thank...

Okay, thanks for the reply.

No answer? I am looking "re-adopt" IndigoMax for a particular project, but I am unsure as to what level the scattering functionality is.

Has the support for third-party scatter plugins developed or is it still just at "initial support" stage?

Hi OnoSendai, I know it wasn't fully developed but Maxigo had a scatter function that worked really well - I produced scenes with grass etc that actually stood up to the standalone third-party packages - similar to what you are developing for SketchUp. I raised also with Subpixel some issues with co...

We need to get the passion back to Max development :!: I remember, that in the beginning subpixel seemed to be full of optimism and was eager to start to make things better. Somehow all this energy has vanished? At the moment the plugin doesn't have features even the old script had years ago ... I ...

For the first one, it's something wrong about materials ID. Perhaps you use only the ID 2 without using the ID 1. Indigo cannot use something with multi/sub IDs with noting in the materials* or with jump like 1 and 99. *: in fact with 3.8 it could assign a "pink" default material but not in all the...
