Indigo Renderer Forum

Ok so i've just finished reinstalling and everytime I hit render in Indigo on Blender, I get a Python Script Error saying that the required path assetsPath doesn't exist.

Anyone know how I can fix this?

anyone? >.>

A screenshot or text copy/paste including everything reported to the console would definitely help.

What did you reinstall, Blender 2.4.9b, Indigo 2.4.13, Blendigo 2.4 Update 2, Python ?

Oh hey Headroom, I'll stay within this thread then.
Well blender gives me this when I try to render with indigo:


So the console gives me this:
oh ok sorry! well here's what the console gives me



Also the scribbled out part is just my name set to the mac >.>

Not knowing what your expertise with mac OSX is in general I will start my explanations with "Adam and Eve".

Based on your console output it looks like Blendigo is installed in this folder:
/Applications/Blender/blender.app/Contents/.blender/scripts

Mac OSX is a Unix system and all files and folders starting with a dot are hidden from a normal user's view. There are several ways to navigate to these folders. You can simply open the Finder and choose Go --> Go to Folders" from the menu bar, which will present you with a field that will allow you to type in the exact path to the file or folder.

If that sound's to cumbersome you can employ a tool like TinkerTool http://www.bresink.com/OSX/TinkerTool.html that will allow you to make dot-files visible system wide.
I would recommend to hide these again when you're done fixing the Blendigo issues. As it may be necessary to access the .blender folder occasionally to perhaps place anoter script in it, I have created aliases that get me there in one click.

The next thing in the console is that the Blendigo script looks looks for it's supporting data not in the /Applications/blender.app but in your user directory:

/Users/"scribblescratch"/.blender/scripts/blendigopkg/assets

I would recommend to check if in fact the above folder exists. If it does not then I would suggest creating it and then copy the blendigo script and the blendigopkg folder with all its contents from /Applications/.... in to /Users/"scribblescratch"/.blender/scripts/

Then close and restart Blender and see if that fixed the problem. Good Luck!

ooh thanks! that fixed it but now I'm back to my first problem.
When you click RENDER, on it, this shows up.


The console says:


I am sort of new to OSX and still trying to find my way around , I've always been a Windows user so I'm a somewhat of a noob to this.

Great!

In Blendigo click on the "System" Tab/Button. The section labeled "Indigo Location" lists the path where Blendigo expects for your Indigo installation to be.

If you installed Indigo directly into your Applications folder the following entry should work:

/Applications/Indigo.app

I tend to keep several Indigo versions each in their own folder in the Applications directory. So a possible entry into the Indigo Location on my system is:

/Applications/Indigo 2.4.13/indigo.app

FIXED! I think, now it's time to learn using it.

Thank you soooo much Headroom, I owe you big time!

Thanks for the help Headroom !

Hotdogs, could you please change the title of this thread ? I suggest

[fixed] blendigo: assetsPath doesn't exist

It would make it easier to spot in the future for others, thank you !
