OK, it runs.

found a few bugs/problems:

1. Previewing blend materials doesn't work -- I assume because the dependant materials are not exported to the preview?

2. the "Indigo output" window keeps scrolling to the top, it's hard to actually
see the current output.

3. previewing materials with textures doesn't work.

4. exporting a .pigm doesn't include any textures.

1°) you're rigth :)
2°) yes, it's a bit boring
3°) and 4°) Are you using "relative path" ? I'm using Absolute path and it works fine :)

yes, i always use relative paths with textures. in fact for .pigm, the paths need to be relative, or it doesn't work.

Yes, I use "relative path" when I create PIGM file.
But i always use Absolute path in my scene (because I use indigo over a local netkork)
I will correct this today. Thanks for testing.

I get this error when I try to check the Preview tab:
Can't find : C:\Indigo\C:\Indigo\renders\im1200743681.png
It seems to double the Indigo path for some reason? I'd love to see that working, the rest is great. :)

Can you post your "conf.ini" file ?

Maybe there is a error in that file.

Thanks, it looks okay, but I'll go ahead and post it.

I think it may be something to do with the fact that I have a multiboot system, and use the Subst command to set the H: drive as the C: drive. It's never affected anything else, but does that sound likely? :?

hi,
nice app,
I had this problem (output from blendigo),
the xml reader chokes on this:

Code: Select all

	<material> <!-- light or exit portal dummy material -->
		<name>posterEmit</name>
		<null_material/>
	</material>
if I move the comment before the <material> tag it works fine ;-)
thx
Philippe

Your conf.ini files seems to be okay. I don't know if the "subst" command can affect my soft.

I think the parser prefers when the comment are "alone" on the line.
Like this :

Code: Select all

<material>
                        <!-- light or exit portal dummy material -->
		<name>posterEmit</name>
		<null_material/>
	</material>
I must try to find a better parser :?
