I am not sure whether or not this needs to be supported in Blendigo and Indigo. CAD models, when exported as .obj contain custom vertex normals (custom split vertex normals in Blender). This helps reducing render artifacts and can only be worked around to a degree by exporting models with very high ...

Here are some more doodles

It's not a very well-known CAD software but has some powerful modeling tools that are not present in that form in packages that are much more expensive. , e.g. SolidWorks.

Most people, around here are using Polygon/Sup-D modeling software to create models. This object was modeled in ZW3d, a CAD application. Exported as a triangulated .stl mesh and then imported into Blender where the simple cloth background was added.

Tuns out that I had Pathtracing/GPU enabled and that created the problem.

Never mind

I've done this before successfully but now cannot get the Ranch Render Farm to accept the file as it always fails the validation stage. I can create a .pigs file just fine, re-open it in Indigo and it renders.

It's a plugin for Blender to allow you to render images in Indigo Renderer

There is a post in this thread viewtopic.php?f=8&t=15240, which explains how to install this manually. Mainly it revolves around just moving the file folder with the plugin files manually.

I have Blendigo 4.2.2 enabled in the Bender 2.8 preferences, but it does not show up in the available render engine settings. Are you sure this works ?

Edit: Forget that. Found the solution in the "other" thread.

@Stoffel how hard would it be to check that on Blender.org ?

The renders are very well done. However, there is one little detail that jumps into my eye in almost all of your renders and that is the scale of the wood floors. The size of the grain and the size of the individual planks are 30-50% too large. It helps to know that we as a human species already hav...

@fused Thanks for the tip. increasing Path Depth does indeed eliminate these dark areas. it's just not a setting available in the Blendigo UI (or I simply have to look harder ): @Contefugo: All of these images have rendered for 40 minutes on a 2017 MacBook Pro with a Radeon Pro 560. This is not usua...

I rendered this simple test scene to see how GPU Pathtracing would compare to CPU rendering, BIDIR MLT in this case. My interest was mainly to see evaluate difference between dispersion and caustics. Both images rendered for 40 minutes.the light source is a HDRI with many small light sources and the...

Very cool images. Looks like things have improved just a tad since fractint

So here is a bt more food for thought. Below are 4 images of that old test scene. Its basically an Aluminum 'pill' with water in it and a glass window. the Glass is simple glass is a specular transparent material with IOPR of 1.5 and no Couchy B. The ware material is this from the online material DB...
