Hi all,
This release contains some bugfixes, but also the network rendering process has had some work done on it to make it a bit easier to use.

Check out this tutorial to see how to start a network rendering with 2.0.6. Feedback welcome!
And feel free to improve the tutorial.

Very nice update.
I really love the improved network rendering.
Also the new slave window is very cool.
+ Thanks for so quick bug fixes.

I've got a question:
Is it too complicated to compile the Mac version along the Windows or Linux versions, or what is the reason why there aren't neither builds of the 2.05 nor the 2.06 beta?
Do I have to imply to that when I buy Indigo for Mac?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to bully in any way, I am just wondering.

Hi guys! Hi Ono! Thanks for the update!
Listen, I've got a tiny annoying thing going on: the icons of "Indigo.exe" and "Indigo Renderer Network Slave.exe" are the generic icons windows uses for generic executable apps (white rectagle with a blue string in the top), and not the fancy-coloured one which I can see in the header here, for example. How can I fix that?
I'm running Indigo on Win XP 32bits.

Thank you guys.

IMO the thread's priority should be 'below normal' as default... it's always easier to turn it normal then it is to turn it below normal

Get this error message when I try and render by exporting from Blendigo. The .igs gets created ok and
I can load it direct from the Indigo GUI and it then renders fine

Blender 2.49a, Win 7 RC x64, Blendigo 1.1.18

I bet its the space in the filename :D

What space? either way it worked for versions prior to this

"Dougs Stuff" that one

Very very nice, thanks a lot!

[quote="PureSpider"]"Dougs Stuff" that one[/quote]

hehe you may be right - but I've always used that folder name. I've since tried a new file in that same folder structure and that seems to render fine. Not sure whats causing it.

same error again but different file. As before exporting from Blendigo gives this error message. I can then load the .IGS file and it works. The only space in this is the folder 'Dougs stuff'. But I have had that same folder structure for ages so I think this is something else.

Can't initialize Indigo beta 2.0.6 for Mac. :-(

Hi Pibuz,
The icons aren't working on XP, but only Vista for some reason. I'll fix that soon.
