Indigo Renderer Forum

Hi! I was looking for external renderers for blender and thought Indigo looked amazing, so I installed the latest versions of both Indigo and Blendigo (in that order) and followed the installation process. Blendigo saw Blender fine and I can use the "render with Indigo" script, which opens Blendigo in blender as normal (I think)

However, upon trying to render a scene, an on-screen error occurs, stating "could not find indigo executable, see console for details".

Looking at the console, I see the message "Could not find Indigo executable, I looked for Contents/Resources/../MacOS/Indigo"

Blender is saved in Applications/Blender/

Indigo is saved in Applications/Blender/Indigo/

It would be brilliant if anyone could help, I did have a look through the forums for similar problems, but none of the suggested solutions I could find seemed to work...

I don't use Mac but you seem to have answered the question yourself.

From how I understand it, the script looked for indigo:
"Contents/Resources/../MacOS/Indigo" <-- here
and for you its saved:
"Applications/Blender/Indigo/" <-- here

so it cant find it.

Hi Tingard,

Can you please tell me which Blendigo version you installed? Looking up the paths on OSX has always been less than reliable, and I'd like to see it working properly for you.

Did you enter the path to Indigo in the System tab of the exporter ?
The path you specify should be in your case /Applications/Blender/Indigo.app

Ahh... It was a stupid problem, Indigo/Blendigo itself works fine, I just didn't enter Indigo's location into the input box. My mistake, thank you for the quick reply and the great instructions.

Sorry for taking up you're time.

It's fine We pretty much all did that at some point
