yeh... home depot gave us the wrong paint when I painted my room a couple years back, got gloss enamel... Gonna repaint in a couple weeks because it's like a puke yellow. Probably a good color for half the characters in 3D but for a wall...

Nick, I was wondering.. ..Why does it just stand 'Indigo' on the render window and not, e.g 'indigo v0.6'?

BTW, I like the preliminary GUI Idea...

The Idea of debris, to add some control over Tonemapping in such a GUI is über!!!
It shoud be possible to make the values of rainhard & linear tweakable "on the fly" while rendering

Nick, I wish this feature for x-mas, gonna be a good boy till then

how do i use halt time?
(im no programer, im just starting to grasp indigo code)

Heya matos,

if you are using the commandline, here a quick example:

...\indigo\indigo testscenes\metal_test.xml -halt 20

Indigo will stop rendering after 20 seconds. Easy, isn't it?!

take care

psor!!! I read this but also had no idea how it worked!!!

What is it for 2 hours? ~~xml -halt 7200 ?

yes!

You can edit inifile.txt file too. Halt time is in Miscellaneous settings.

I think a halt after X muts/pix could be useful too. And if we specidy an end point it could be possible to add a progress bar as a visual cue and an estimated time of completion. Those could be added in the nice basic GUI some talked about

Thank you so much psor!!!
very simple and well explained.
(im really lame, i didnt check inifile.txt

)

@Maluminas

Yes, ... what I thought. Because if you've got some PC's and the
"speed" is not the same, halt after X seconds wouldn't help alot,
but halt after X mut./pix. would do the job, especially for anims. ;o))

@matos

You're very welcome mate.

How much a control on muts/pix can slow down the render ?

psor · Post by **psor** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 8:44 am

@leope

Erm, ... leope? Why should it slowdown a rendering? It would be an
option where you could specify a value, lets say 5000. And when Indigo
hit this mutations/pixel value then it will stop.

Example:
1. PC AMD64 3000+
2. PC AMD64 X2 4400+

I'd like to render an animation, but if I would use halt then the result
would e different, in mutations/pixel to speak, ... so I would need
a halt option that stops the render at given mutations/pixel so the
results are quite the same, even if the PC's don't match the same speed.

Hope this helps a bit.

take care
psor

changelog:
v0.6 test 6
* added -halt command line parameter to set the halting time (in seconds)
* messed around with russian roulette
* fixed some bugs with bidir code (including horizon line).
* fixed scale for non-mlt mode.

Thanks a lot Ono, best job man!!!
But a question if you can answer me: does v.0.6t6 support normal smoothing?? Or to obtain a smooth object I must model it with many faces?
Thanks in advance!
