Indigo Renderer Forum

4.4.5
* Added support for CPU bucketed rendering, with per-pixel QMC sequences, for single and bidir path tracing.
Added 'Bucket rendering' and 'Double buffer' checkboxes in render settings.
* Added support for decorrelated pixel sampling/splatting for CPU.
* Added cpu_bucketed_rendering and decorrelated_pixel_sampling render settings. (both false by default)
* Fixed issue with an image from the scene being closed replacing the 'Click to start rendering' text in some cases.

4.4.4
* Fixed normalise_depth_channel option not working on GPU.
* Fixed bidir issue with env depth not being black for non-normalised depths.
* Tweaked scene info display widget, text is now copy and pastable.
* Reporting compressed and uncompressed size of texture in texture control.
* Improved pixel info display for non-beauty channels. Using x,y,z instead of R,G,B etc..

4.4.2 - 4.4.3
* Fixed OpenGL textures not updating on material changes.
* Doing texture compression for textures in OpenGL widget.
* Avoiding locking up UI when unpacking .pigs scenes.
* Multithreaded loading of data into OpenGL preview, avoiding locking up UI while loading data into OpenGL preview.
* Made it so that preloading textures in the UI doesn't block the main UI thread, and is cancellable.
* Moved metadata display in UI to scene info dock widget, from render settings area.
* Fixed bug where inserts into the mat DB failed the first time Indigo was run.
* Opimised texture mapping a little.
* Fixed GPU device selection in UI not working properly. (broken recently)
* Added 'Texture Compression' section, drop-down box for selecting texture compression option.
* Fixed 640x480 resolution preset not working in the UI.
* Added 2560x1440 and 3840x2160 presets.
* Made scene, queue and image saving show a message in the status bar for a few seconds, and in render log.
* Fixed bug with previews of small textures in texture widget.
* Fixed incorrect scaling of IES intensity in some cases.
* Improved handling of IES files so that the luminous intensity from a flat quad will be equal to that specified in the IES file at grazing angles.
* Added UI support for changing/viewing IES profile in scene editor.
* Fixed crashing when loading an igm file with no material nodes in it.

Denoising itself is also multithreaded and will use all your CPU cores.

Love the commitment to quality.

I ran the IndigoRenderer_4.4.5_Setup.exe, so far everything looks good.

But upon extracting IndigoRenderer_v4.4.5.tar.gz, both the Indigo file and the Indigo_console file are being read as shared libraries instead of executables.

Yes. After extracting IndigoRenderer_v4.4.5.tar.gz in linux the indigo file and the indigo_console file (and network manager) were not listed as executables, as they had been in previous releases. When I run these in the linux terminal I get a list of file not founds. If this release needs updated dependencies, that is not a problem, but all the previous 4.x releases that I have used have run without issue.

Suuuper nice! Very quick first test shows a very noticeable speed increase with bucket rendering, and the denoising is amazing for getting quick and dirty renderings out. Fantastic work!

Bucket Rendering, and denoising don't work on a 2013 imac with the latest version of MacOS installed. Niether does OpenCL rendering. Gives me zero samples per second, and crashes when I try to disable it. Seems like Indigo isn't targeting Mac users? Doesn't seem like a good move as almost the entire creative industry (at least here in the United States) heavily relies on Mac products. I know this is (semi) free, and I think it's fantastic that this is an option to this day, but I just with this thing was a little more mac friendly.
