Indigo Renderer Forum

After exporting a scene into Indigo, the scene loads like it's supposed to, but the screen remains black for a VERY long time. During this period the computer becomes very slow, much slower than when it used to work. Then, an error prompt pops up:

"ObjectExcep: Exception while building tree: EBH Build failure, too many triangles in leaf."

This started happening out of nowhere; I already had one render going, and I was only tweaking materials. This error essentially stops me from rendering further. However, I can still render, but with other Sketchup files, but not the one I need. Any ideas?

I found a topic on here from 2010, which suggested smoothing faces or whatnot. How would I do that? And I mean a step by step walkthrough, because I am pretty clueless at all this. Thanks!

I can also attach the Sketchup file in question if anyone wants to test it out.

This.

Okay, I wasn't sure exactly what part of my model needed smoothing, so I just selected everything, right-clicked, and smoothed edges and coplanars (dragged the slider to 180). The render still doesn't work. Any other ideas are appreciated...these renders are due tomorrow

You will have to disable shape smoothing if you can not get the meshes fixed: probably some smoothed surfaces are detached and lack therefore the tension to maintain their shape, collapsing into clusters too dense.

Another eventuality is that displaced geometries may have a wrong size upon export, this one is purely speculative though.

Did you happen to try with the lowest subdivision value (1) ?

Probably coplanars should be avoided, even more if hey have different materials applied. If they have the same material applied they could make a mess if displaced.
