Indigo Renderer Forum

.swf format because: A) Everyone has flash and B) It actually embeds the full .pngs that I rendered inside - no quality loss (like GIF - blech)

Attached is a .png preview.

Note that it looks like FF and IE maximize a flash file automatically when you play it - un maximize your browser for a better viewing.

EDIT: File is ~17 MB in size - you might be better off downloading the file and "viewing" it in FF or IE (use "Open With..")

That is pretty sweeeeet. It would look great if the vase was rotating. Geez, look at that. Two animations done with Indigo in one day :D

Wow!
That's great
Btw, it's not that easy, to say "everyone has flash"...
As Far as I know, there are some linux6flash problems with some distros...
dunno, exactly, though...

Forgot to add render parameters:

8 hours for all 19 frames - so whatever amount of time that is per frame, on Quad 2.4ghz - MLT, BD, and Hybrid on - Max Consec Rejec at 1000, Ray Bounces at 10000. Ubuntu Gutsy Tribe 5 x64.

I ended up writing a small bash script to automate / render the animation for me, as clicking "animate" in Blendigo doesn't work in Linux.

@all: thanks for the kind words!

EDIT: forgot to say - Thanks StompinTom for his studio setup .blend!

Exactly how did you get Indigo to work in Ubuntu 64 bit? That's great.

Indigo 32-bit works fine in Wine.

64-bit works for some, too - not me - gives me an invalid PE error.

What I meant was, I didn't think you could use wine in 64 bit linux in order to use indigo. Or am I just being the usual linux-noob that I always am?! :S

64-bit linux is compatible with 32-bit programs perfectly.

Not exactly.

If you run a pure 64bit-environment, you can not run 32-bit programs.
But I don´t know if the other linux distributions (e.g ubuntu, ...) offer pure 64bit environments

if you install 32-bit libraries, you can run 32-bit programs.

They run perfectly.

The majority of programs on linux are open source, and are therefore compiled for your target platform - which means 64-bit only isn't a problem, if that is what you want to run.

Dave didn't manage to install wine.
He needs help
That's what he meant.
