This weekend Iam in Kitchen

Sir · Post by **Sir** » Fri Feb 20, 2009 9:36 pm

wicked ill get on this tonight.

also, ive had a quick look, but couldnt see if there were any 'official' test scenes around - sharing these could help give a better idea of indigo across diff macs....

or have ijust missed a blindingly obvious link?

Ok.
here are my first impressions:

1. First of all, Indigo-Gui looks very nice and works tight.

2. Can't get work on Osx 10.4.11 ( Tiger ).

3. Most of the test-scenes are not working; the the app is often crashing.

4. If a testscene opens without crashing then its rendering stable (:

thats all folks for now!

Hello Ben,

first of all, congrats on bringing Indigo to mac.
I just downloaded it and ran it on my Macbook Pro with Mac OS 10.5.6
The GUI looks neat. Thanks once more.

All renders that worked smoothly or had errors but still rendered can be seen at
http://www.iljapanzer.de/indigoonmac

Unfortunately so far only very few of the example scenes work on my system:

start Indigo-GUI
I open one of the example scene
In the lower left corner it says: building scene and after that with many example file the app crashes

Working example scenes:

adaptive_displacement_shader_test.igs
airy_disc_test.igs
background_exit_portal_test.igs
background_luminance_test.igs
bokeh_test.igs
box_emitter_test.igs
caustic_participating_media_test.igs
colour_test.igs
cornellbox_jotero.igs

specular_sphere_test.igs
sss_block_test.igs
sss_energy_loss_test.igs
sss_test2.igs
terrain_test.igs
translucent_energy_test.igs

With almost all files that do render (I haven't checked every single log) the log shows something like:

Code: Select all

binary_mesh_test.igs
blend_material_shader_test.igs

Here something in the path for the texture is wrong: besides me not finding the texture itself at all, the path mixes slashes and backslashes. But maybe that's just an issue of the igs-file and not of the gui itself.

Good work Ilja!

benn · Post by **benn** » Fri Feb 20, 2009 11:28 pm

Wow thanks ilja!

pixie · Post by **pixie** » Sat Feb 21, 2009 12:42 am

Great job!

One thing it lacks IMO is the old samples / second value. One suggestion regarding rendering sizes was that they would keep the ratio of the original scene, perhaps stretched to the monitor width such 1280x r, 1024 x r, 800 x r where r means ratio of the original image plus height

tungee · Post by **tungee** » Sat Feb 21, 2009 2:21 am

Yes i can confirm this,the picture is only stretched to the selected dimensions.

chovey · Post by **chovey** » Sat Feb 21, 2009 2:28 am

I love the interface, it looks much nicer than the Windows version. Great Job!

Benn, since Ilja was very comprehensive with the test scenes, I'll try rendering some of my own scenes over the weekend and let you know how it goes.

Cheers,
Chris

IljaPanzer · Post by **IljaPanzer** » Sat Feb 21, 2009 2:29 am

Hi there, again.

I didn't want to confuse. I just took screenshots of the GUI window with the render in it. As I didn't have much time today morning I was glad I made it through all files. I also noticed, that some renders were out of aspect ratio.

If I can be of further help, don't hesitate will have time tonight again.

Please excuse me, if my screenshots made someone irritated.

pixie · Post by **pixie** » Sat Feb 21, 2009 3:28 am

No reason to excuse yourself IMO, you've done a wonderful job, one thing that might be interesting is to check if these sorts of errors doesn't occur also in Windows version, some scenes are known not work in windows version either.

Zom-B · Post by **Zom-B** » Sat Feb 21, 2009 4:28 am

awesome work IljaPanzer!!1!

**EDIT**
BTW Ben.... how about a changelog since 1.1.16?!?

We love changelogs

bmscmoreira · Post by **bmscmoreira** » Sat Feb 21, 2009 6:22 am

Soon I knew there was a beta, downloaded it and ran all the render scenes provides. Identified 3 groups of files: 1- ones that rendered; 2- ones that crashed the app; 3 - ones that did not crash the app but presented indigo internal error messages. Since we can't upload to this forum i'm sending you benn a yousendit link with a rar containing:

for the group 1: the screenshot of the rendered image;
for the group 2: the apple report of the crash in rtf format;
for the group 3: the screenshot of the indigo internal error message(s)

Things that may be of interest:

Airy_disc_test: renders a dot
Bokeh_test: renders strange (?)
Colour_test: renders white (well i know white is a colour...

)
Diffraction_test: renders black
Dof_test: renders black
Emitting_material_test: renders strange (?)
Empty: renders gray (perhaps its the idea)
Shift_lens: the image is clear on the first tonemap but then it changes to a strange (?) one (both images are in the rar, just had to be quick to snapshot the first one)
Skin_test: renders black
Sun_glare_test: gives indigo error messages but renders a black dot in white background
Sun_16_test:the image is clear on the first tonemap but then it changes to a strange (?) one (both images are in the rar, just had to be quick to snapshot the first one)

Went to the forum after doing the tests and snapshotes and realized that IljaPanzer did already a great job testing some or all of the scenes and the results seem to match. Well, the work was done already so theres nothing to lose to send it anyway.

Btw, is there a way we can upload our screenshots directly to this forum? I think it would benefit the communication. If there's anyone that would like to see the snapshots i'm sending benn, just say the word and ill send them to you as well.

Benn, Ono, all your team, tks for Indigo, looks promising.

IljaPanzer · Post by **IljaPanzer** » Sat Feb 21, 2009 9:23 am

@bmscmoreira: You've done great as well! I didn't have the time to collect the apple crash logs. They might help to find the crashing source. Could you please pm the yousendit link as well? That would be awesome.

All the best
Let's get this thang running

@Benn: Is there any specific help we could give right now?

benn · Post by **benn** » Sat Feb 21, 2009 10:27 am

@ bmscmoreira

thank you for your work.

@iljapanzer

theres nothing in particular at the moment - i'll go through and fix up those scenes and put up the next version of the gui. the next thing for me will be to get the exporters from the major packages working.
