Indigo Exporter for 0.7t5 - beta release

Post by **fused** » Tue Apr 17, 2007 7:42 pm

for every tagged object the exporter loops through the object list and checks if there is an instance of that object and then exports it.

no extra tags needed, but not really optimized on runtime (image a scene with 1000+ objects

)

I see the problem...

It is perhaps possible to exclude C4D instances from this checking loop! because all instancing links back to the original Mesh object, so checking 10000 instances of some grass mesh would be simply a waste of time.

**EDIT**
oh, now I see that you only check Indigo tagged objects

The most Scenes with 1000+ objects heavily use instances,
so I don't think its such a big problem...

looks very promissing, I just wait for your next version to give my finished Wildcat a try in indigo

would your instancing check also work for objects in an array object?

he he ^^

At last it should be easy to check

If C4D defines instances internally all the same way, even MoGrap stuff
would benefit from your instancing check

BTW:
It seems I found the issue about the "Camera doesn't get exported" bug No. 12, I couldn't reproduce...
It occurs if you have set NO "Indigo render settings" Tag

Talking about the camera... it seems your exporter just exports the default camera settings,
ignoring all changes you did FOV etc. can you confirm this?!

you have to work on sundays?

that sucks pretty much.

load and save .igm wont be in the release anyways... still have no solution to the string conversion

(and im pretty much too lazy to think of sth on my own

)

its my 400€ Job to avoid getting insane of sitting 24/7 infront of the computer

I'm a "Logen Steward" in the Color Line Arena in Hamburg, serving drinks etc.
money is Ok, but all the nice Lady's you work with are a nice contact to the "outside world" ^^

igm support is the less interesting feature to implement I think.
I'm hot on instancing, and fixed Bug No 1

I just hope I'm not to drunk after work, to test the new version
(another benefit of this Job ^^)

If you don't I'll post some bugs I found in your last version
