Indigo Renderer Forum

Hello:

I am completely new to this. I got indigo up and running. I did a simple light element and glass plate sculpture thing in SU and it is still rendering 4 hours later. Everything is the default except the background is black. I am running it on a mix of things. The machine is the newer mac book pro with parallels running indigo. I know that it is slower then the have it dual boot. But 4 hours seems a little long. Any suggestions or I just should wait and see what will happen. attached in a screen shot. It just keeps on running. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

yes, indigo does run until you stop it.

the number you want to watch is the "Samples per pixel" value, or keep a close eye on the grain/noise in the picture.

The more samples you have the better, generally - although over 2000 - 3000 samples might be unnecessary for some scenes.

Some scenes can take many hours or days to reach that level of quality.

Thanks for the info:

Display took 0.45115 s
Time elapsed: 5 h, 3 m, 53 s
Done 708930000.00000 samples (5189.25447 samples per pixel)
38880.56423 samples / second (25.71979 micro-seconds / sample)

This is what I got. The sample per pixel is higher then 3000. I guess this is good.
Thanks I will keep waiting.

On another topic do you know how to make a direct spot light from a cylinder object. or point me to a thread that is already out in the forum.

Thanks again. The results from the gallery look like the wait is worth it.

this is really not the thread for this.

try the sketchup thread

Thanks
I will look for it.
