PIGM's and Indigo

[Doug Armand]

How do you use .pigms with Indigo? When I try to use them via Blendigo I get the following error with Indigo:

These are .pigm created using Indigo Material Editor. Is this format just for transporting materials and textures?

I extract the .igm with files from the .pigm and set the path to that .igm

Yes thats what I do - .pigm is basically a zip file isn't it?. But it would be nice for both workflow and archival reasons if one could use it directly with Indigo. The Indigo Material Ediotr can use them without them being unpacked - be nice if Indigo could too?

You mean Indigo, no? Because MatEditor can operate with .pigm

Yes, for Indigo using the .pigm directly would be very nice!

Edit: sorry, I didn't read correctly

The next major version of Blendigo (after 2.2 stable) will extract them for you.

Nice - that really will help in a major way for both workflow and archival - so thanks in advance.

Your do know Christmas is over? yet for me with all my recent requests being fullfilled, well some of them anyway, it still seems like Xmas for me

This is why I can't wait for 2.2 stable (damn, I keep banging on about this ), I have several new features in development which I know you guys will want to play with; some are a bit experimental so will realistically have to wait until after the stable release.

anyway it would be nice if indigo could include pigm's.



easier for plugin devs

also eliminating a possible source of error.

It would make a lot of sense to support its own formats, definitely!
