Render on ranch, igs?

[ngethin]

Hey guys, need a bit of help if someone can help me out!

I want to send a sketchup file to the ranch to get rendered with indigo. I have an .igi file but the ranch says you need to pack a .igs file but I dont have a clue how to create one. Is there any way that someone can help me out on this?

Thanks a lot!

The .igs scene can be thought of as the 3d model itself, while the .igi file is essentially the image-but with all of the SPP data stored. (I think, lol )

So, the .igi file is useless to the RANCH... you need to give them the igs file,which is what is exported to Indigo everytime you render an image, you can get the .igs file by:

Export a scene as you regularly would, but instead of having it be a "default".igs file, name it, and export it to your desktop (or location of choice), and when it begins rendering, just cancel it. You will still have the .igs file wherever you exported it to, and you can upload it to The RANCH. (I think you also need to include all textures, though)

Sorry if any of this information is wrong.. i'm extremely tired.

Hey, thanks for posting a reply. Everything you said was what I was doing really although in your case you say I should get a .igs file I actually only have a .igi, does anyone have another way or meybe know where I'm going wrong? Thanks for any help!

You need to create a .pigs (packed indigo scene) file. Download Indigo 2.0, open your scene, test it renders okay, then click 'pack scene' in the tools menu and upload that to the ranch.
