sure..
1.
download and install latest xquartz, version 2.3.1
2.
download and install Darwine 1.0 (which is mac version of Wine), i suggest 'Stable build of Darwine 1.0.1 for Leopard, with Freetype 2.3.7 and FontForge py25-20080828.'
3. run indigo.exe with WineHelper.app which you find in /Applications/Darwine

It's possible to render directly from Blender with blendigo (OS X) to Indigo (Darwine) ? or... we must export and then load into Indigo and render?

Ok, it's work!
Darwine on my macbook 2Ghz decrese the speed of my renders ? For example...
- Indigo Renderer on Windows XP on VMFusion (or parallels) [mac book 2Ghz]
- Indigo Renderer on Darwin [mac book 2Ghz]
Who the highest perfomance?

Darwine.
indigo will be ultra slow in xp under vmfusion or parallels.
but Darwine will also be slower that running indigo under xp with bootcamp.

from my experience indigo's wine is on par with indigo's xp, perhaps a tad faster... but the ability to be run from within linux is priceless!

thats not the case in osx. my core 2 duo is heavily underperforming.

54k on a mac mini. but that doesnt help us if we cant compare it to a bootcamp result ^^

my experience is, running osx and wine is pretty comparable with running on windows, in indigo renders one hour here or one hour there doesn't really matter
i dont know if it is possible to start indigo from blendigo, without modding blendigo. i remember it recognizes only linux or win, so i choose not to start indigo, save files and then run indigo_console from terminal eg: without gui which is faster..
to do so you have to create '.profile' text file (no extension) in your home directory (/Users/YOURUSERNAME) which contains
Code: Select all
export PATH="$PATH:/Applications/Darwine/Wine.bundle/Contents/bin"
which is default path to wine binary install location of darwine builds i mentioned above, and this is needed for easy running wine from terminal. than i have got folder /render in the root of disk, with indigo installed (/render/indigo)
i do simply:
Code: Select all
cd /render/indigo
wine indigo_console.exe RELATIVEPATHTOSCENE.igs
and indigo will start rendering without unnecessary gui for final rendering and a bit faster of course. you can read log in terminal and time to time check png in renders directory

i have no idea, it is a matter of exporter..

Luxrender exporter can launch the renderer very well on OS, would be nice if someone do a copy/paste from it

On my mac (leopard) indigo_console.exe works correctly via wine.
Did some body try with skindigo?
I can't get it working.
i post detailed explanation on this post:

I get working blendigo editing
/Applications/blender/blender.app/Contents/MacOS/.blender/scripts/bpydata/IndigoWrapper.conf
but partially.
witch version of blendigo and indigo do you use?
