Hello

Post by eman7613 » Sat Sep 16, 2006 2:59 pm

Hello yall, i stumbled across indego about mid phyisics class yesterday and said "why not."

After installing it and reading the readme and watching two of the videos i decided to try out a render of something i was working on.

In Cinema (9.603) it rednerd out like this
Image

my only real problem is my water/ glass renders funny, and i was optimistic from the gallery that indego woudlent have a problem. I exported it to render and about 1 minute in i noticed that it wasnt going to turn out right.

the silver apple is cool and all, but not what i was looking for.

Is there something wrong/ a bug i dont know about? And could anyone provide a slightly more detailed readme?

hi :)

first: set the aperture_radius to something like 0.00000001 to avoid the blurriness (you have to do this by
hand in the xml file because the exporter isn't able to set this number lower than 0.001)

Code: Select all

<aperture_radius>0.0000001</aperture_radius> 
second: you could try to set the normal_smoothing to "off"
Select the glas-mesh, then File > Indigo Exporter Tags > Indigo Object Tag > No Normalsmoothing.

third: set the spec color of the apple mat to dark grey

Maybe this helps :wink:

also, make sure the textures are UV mapped and that the corresponding JPGs or image files are in your scene directory (ie. the directory where your .xml file is) if not you can manually set the location by fucking around with the .xml file but its easier if you just copy/move the textures to the directory where your scene is. hope that helps.

dof

Post by tungee » Sat Sep 23, 2006 6:49 am

Hi Manitwo,
You didnt need to set dof manualy via xml.
Its a little bit strange; if you set in c4d the lens radius to 0.00001 and press ok ,then the lens radius is at 0, but the exporter exports with 0.00001!!

try it !
