Indigo Renderer Forum

Just a first test on a model I did want to render and insert in a bigger composite.

Rendering from Skindigo output this result https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxbefK ... sp=sharing

The source model appear this one (a Little prince model) https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxbefK ... sp=sharing

Obviously something goes wrong with the planet!

Too high displacement! The planet is displaced by more than its radius.
Check either the planet size, or the material displacement amount

Thanks, some experimenting with different materials give me better results.

Another stupid thing: need to composite the render without any background, how can I avoid the Sky background in the Environment, leaving the Sun illumination?

Without atmosphere the result it's a lunar like illumination with no light diffusion, but I did need to have the planet in a black or better transparent background.

Just check under the Render settings, Foreground alpha option. That will make the background transparent, whether it be sun simulation, or hdr/image background.

Perfect alpha channel is the solution.

Apologize to continue asking, but there is a way to define the output size directly from Indigo interface? Or need I to start always from Skindigo plugin?

You mean the picture resolution? Yes, it is in the render setting>Imaging> Width x Height. It is pretty much the first thing you see when you start Indigo, in the upper right corner.

Thanks again this was the solution.
Now I'm forced to use Blender for a new 3d model, never used at all.
I was able to setup Blender to use Indigo as render engine, but can't find a control panel where set render options such as gpu acceleration and finish conditions, someone can help me on that?

As a C4D user, I can't help you much with that. But I am sure that if you start a thread in the Blender exporter section, someone proficient with that program/exporter will help you out. For now, thanks to galinette, this strange displacement behaviour is explained. Best of luck using Indigo, and related apps!

Found it thanks.
Still setting a Custom rendering mode and enabling GPU rendering only the CPU is used.
Can't find any "Apply settings" button, need I to save the new Rendering conf in some way?
