Hey Ono, regarding to the IES black light mesh showing with certain IES files on lamps, is it possible that you could make it so it does render that luminance in the lamp? Or maybe the ability to create a light mesh material that just glows but doesn't shoot light?
Thx for all your hard work and putting up with our requests.....

I love your network code changes Ono. If I may continue the thought... it would be cool if you can specify any computer over the internet as master (assuming the right ports are opened), and then the Indigo slave automatically downloads the neccessary files to a directory on the slave (great if they would be compressed before). Whenever a new image is rendered Indigo checks if the files, especially the textures, have changed (CRC values and size?). If yes a new version gets downloaded, otherwise it would save download time.
I hope that I make sense... it's very late and I should be in bed, sleeping.

for using IES you only need a super tiny polygone to get the startpoint and direction of your light, simply use another material for your "bulp", like.... öhm... something that don't get tonemapped to black and don't receives shadows ^^joegiampaoli wrote:Hey Ono, regarding to the IES black light mesh showing with certain IES files on lamps, is it possible that you could make it so it does render that luminance in the lamp?

From my painful experiences with C4D netrender, I would love to a possibility to save the Project files on client side!! For rendering animations its a damn pain in the ass always having to upload all scene files to every client from server for each session (pointing @ env maps)! If this is no option, some kind of waiting line would be nice, so one client gets all files, starts rendering, and the next one gets served with the scene files etc. ... better than uploading to all clients at the same time for hours after they can finally start!kadajawi wrote:...and then the Indigo slave automatically downloads the necessary files to a directory on the slave (great if they would be compressed before).

(7)zipping the scene files before sending to a client would be cool too, at last obj files compress very nicely
(my test to compress igi files only gave a maximum filesize reduce to 85% )

That would be possible to implement, quite a lot of work tho.kadajawi wrote:I love your network code changes Ono.

In the mean time just save the scene to a network share and use a network share path as the scene file path.
One possible work around would be to have a small threshold for the emitted luminous flux in all directions, possibly as a percentage of the maximum or average luminous flux. In that way the emitter would always look white in any direction.joegiampaoli wrote:Hey Ono, regarding to the IES black light mesh showing with certain IES files on lamps, is it possible that you could make it so it does render that luminance in the lamp?

Hm, maybe someone else might do the network stuff? Like a program that loads the files and Indigo etc. Unfortunately I'm only doing some linguistics related stuff with Perl, so I'm probably not of much use.
Network share is what I've been trying to use, but the only way I found for doing that is Hamachi. Which works very well... in 1% of all attemps. The computers are spread over a few hundred km. Also, that doesn't reduce the traffic neccessary (ok, we all have flatrates, but my upload speed isn't that good).
