Website maintenance

[fused]

Hey all,

We have been working on the website a bit today, in fact, Nick is still working on it.

The store is currently still being worked on at the moment.

The material database should work a bit better now:
- all broken materials work again
- number of materials reported should be correct now
- material upload from mat editor should work again (iirc)
- and more

There are still a few issue we will address soon:
- commenting is currently broken

If you find anything else, please let us know.

Great news fused, here is my list of stuff related:

- there are still some mats with spam comments:
http://www.indigorenderer.com/materials/materials/11
http://www.indigorenderer.com/materials/materials/101
etc.
- You only see the fav. materials of the users, not the one they uploaded on their matDB profile
- Having stats back like the total DL count would be nice
- 2 weeks ago the wood mat linked above was most Downloaded, now it even isn't in the top 24 on the startpage...
- erlier we had a chance to upload a example of texture in use, would be great to have this back.
- plz. fix the white balance to E in the preview scene, also the scale issue of bottom part and general should be fixed plz!

+1, it's hard to make a material with a bump map in the material editor with the current matDB scene, I almost always use the plain sphere for that purpose.

Ok, MatDB and store are back up.
There will be more tweaks and fixes over the coming days, but if you see any issues, please post in this thread or send an email to support@indigorenderer.com.

Cheers,

Style issue: in the main menu, the items in "Home" shift left on mouseover, and the other menus don't.

Problem is that sphere isnt in same scale as Matdb model. so you simply cannot make bump and refl. map.
Only one cure is to test it in real scene.

I already asked ono for fixation + for more scenes in scale for mat db like Floor, Diamond, Drapery (for cloth), SSS and more.
