Indigo Renderer 3.4.2

Hi Matt,
Yes, that should work fine.

Please update your GPU drivers before trying, absolutely crucial!

Quoted for truth ! I remember that Indigo was the only GPU-able application that was not functioning until I updated the board drivers. Games, 3d apps were running smoothly but Indigo really required the update, plain and simple.

Get not fooled and do as lycium says !

Hi OnoSendai,

Thanks for your answer !!! You're the first render engine that support it correctly... Cycle still has problem (less fast) and Octane ( Kepler version ) are not fast than the standard version. Hope nvidia will release driver and DEV kit to solve this ;)

Thanks again for your answer.

Matt

PS : Already have the lastest driver... just waiting my new card... snifff...

Am I right in assuming that the only correct settings for a normal map would be exponent (gamma) =1 and a b-value of 1? going higher than 1 seems to create a weird, artificially dark look to the whole object. is there any way to "deepen" the effect of the map in a natural way without the shading getting funky?

Add some displacement! Bump/normalmap is a quite ugly and hack, that looks right only if not pushed too much... Unfortunately.

Otherwise that's correct, the settings for normal maps are gain=1.0 and gamma=1.0, I went the same way.

[galinette]

Sure, using any gamma other than 1.0 is ugly, as it will make the "undisplaced" value (ie RGB=128/128/255) displaced.

that's what I thought, thanks!

BiDir MLT goes on par with BiDir PT so it seems, there are parts of the picture that one is better and vice versa.

Wich points me to the IGI merging feature available through the command line:

Code: Select all

indigo_console --merge_igi [igi_list] out.igi

Merges the IGI files listed in igi_list (one per line) into out.igi. How nice is that !?

Niiiice! xD

Does that command do spp-weighted merging?

[lycium]

Yes, it does it correctly

[Voytech]

Yes, it does it correctly :)

Could you make that function work within the GUI instead of console only?
