You misunderstood something. Indigo does NOT support alpha maps yet :wink:

Did you mean the stripy sphere in the cornel box? I think that was just a test by Ono, its not implemented, i think. :(

just looked back and saw that, i gues i misunderstood it :( but i also just saw a opengl raytracer that he maid, woudl it be to teribly hard to convert indigo from cpu utilized to gpu? it would jsut render one frame and then export it, and a gpu will be able to calculate the scene much faster then the cpu.
