I have just got Indigo and Skindigo, and am going to install it in my newly formatted PC on the weekend.

Is there such a thing as a basic beginners video tutorial for sketchup, with a basic scene?

hi i wonder if anyone can help iv just downloaded the skindigo 1.0.9 for my sketchup 7 version and have done steps 1-4 of the installation:

1. Remove any previous versions of SkIndigo from your SketchUp/Plugins directory
2. After unzipping the file you downloaded, you should have a file called 'Skindigo.rb', a folder called 'SkIndigo', and another folder called 'SUpreviews'
3. Copy 'SkIndigo.rb' into your SketchUp/Plugins directory
4. Copy the 'SkIndigo' folder into your SketchUp/Plugins directory
5. Copy the 'SUpreviews' folder to your Indigo directory

However iv got to step 5 and cannot find a indigo directory anywhere?

when i start up sketchup 7 it keeps asking for location of indigo.exe after canceling that message i get a error message.

any advice much appreciated

just 1 other thing, once i render my model via indigo can i export it at a 300 dpi in a jpeg? i am using photoshop to make presentation boards

thanx

Hi,

Did you remember to download Indigo 1.0.9? SkIndigo is just the exporter. You need the actual Indigo application:
http://www.indigorenderer.com/download

When you unzip Indigo, take not of the folder the indigo.exe is located. Then navigate to this folder when SkIndigo prompts you.

Happy rendering!
