.:: Indigo 0.9T5 and Exit Portal -- third part

Post by tizxx » Mon Aug 13, 2007 10:36 pm

Look again this Image...

Ono, It is possible to hide the geometry of EXIT PORTAL to the camera?
In general is possible to have the option to mask objects to camera ?

thank you for the attention

What exactly are you doing in this scene?
Is the exit portal towards the room (normals inside the room) and camera is outside ?
If so, then i think it's not supposed to work like this.

Omg.

When i first read the title of the topic, i though it was about Ono using third-party software for the exit portals which was why Indigo suddenly connects to the internet on some computers! Haha. :D

Anyway, as Suvakas said, I don't really think you can use exitportals that way.

I suppose that if i can hide the exit-portal geometry to the camera i can't see the black area...
I see black rectangle because the geometry (in this case a single plane) has inverted normals...
then i know we must have 2 exit portal or one foreach aperture...

I'll see what respond Nicholas at my questions...

Hi, Indigo doesn't have hidden geometry (or lights) right now.
It may be *possible*, but it's not a priority for implementation.

exitportals work the other way round...
this image has an exitportal, that brings all the light IN that room, but none, OUT of it...

They simply make light, going through THEM, ONLY, and that, in ONE direction (the direction of the normals) - so, this simply CAN'T work, this way (at the moment. There is an improvement possibility, as Ono already said...)

All right Nicolas,
No problem.

I suppose that is not a priority.
You do a wonderfull job.

Every release is a dream.
