Thoughts about it, anyone?
From time to time I thought about if it would be wise to implement cindigo as a post effect like several other external render engines seems to be implemented in C4D. But till now I'm not really sure if that would give us any real advantage!?

Do you know the reasons about a tag would be ignored if it's implemented the right way?

Apart thereof I have a feeling that Maxon will enhance the possibilities of implementing externel render engines in some way soon. But that's just my presumption.

But yeah, the longer I think about it, why not an own cindigo render settings object (a little bit like the cinema environment object)?

Perhaps even a button which creates a whole working basic setup, like this (potential) new object and also a camera object with a cindigo camera tag and maybe even the execution of a material conversion... 8)

Even better would be a an expedient on-the-fly interpretation of the original cinema materials wherever possible, but I'm dreaming...

There are definitions which could be on exporter window, such as cinema units, as it's something which usually remains the same across the projects.

Amazing work wlad! Thanks for sharing. IMO it deserved to be amongst the indigo tools in a sticky thread.

Hope you don't mind to se it as sig, that way more people might get in touch with your creation.

I think i got another Bug, when i got an ExtrudeNurb and i put some Text into it everything is okay, but when i try to use a texture on it Cindigo crashes without saying what went wrong, i just hear a "peep" and cinema crashed.

(Hope my english wasn´t that bad :D )
