Indigo Renderer Forum

Hello, all.
I'm completely lost as to how to use indigo to make animations. I want to make this animation using indigo because of the excellent caustics. I tried to make an animation using blender and indigo last night, but when my animation was complete, all I had to show for it was alot of .igmesh, .igs, and .png files. To get an animation from these files, I guess I have to somehow sequence all of the .png files together?? Does indigo do the sequencing of the .png files somehow? Do I need another app for this?? What are the .igmesh and .igs files for??

A BASIC (for dummies, even) blender/indigo animation tutorial would be GREATLY appreciated! Does anyone know of any such tutorials?

Thanks,
scatman

Erm, ... could you tell me why you are posting your question more then once and then again
in the Work in Progress section of the forum?! I don't get it ... it won't let the answer come faster.


Take it easy and have patience!

wich version of indigo do you have?

Hi scatman, you should be able to load the folder of png's into MovieMaker or virtualDub in order to produce a video with.

igmesh's are the geometries used by the igs scene description file wich Indigo used to produce the png's.

Hi! Maybe this topic may help a bit. For me the best way is to export animation, make the batch file a render through the console.

Blender itself has a sequencer / video editor built in. It can easily import a sequence of images and render to AVI or MPG (providing you have an ffmpeg build).
Please try google for blender sequencer tutorials.

no. is nor so easy. i dont know why, but you must to modify your blendigo.py file. i think there is a bug. ive fixed that and i have blendigo 1,1,18 and indigo 1.1.18. if you wish i can send you the file:::
