Are there any animation improvements (Making it easier..) planned for the future?

And as for animation options- it would be cool if the process was easier. I was thinking something like this:


Export the animation to a folder, and the exporter names the exported .igs files as <Scenename>1, 2, 3 and so on.

You open up Indigo, click a 'Render Animation' button, where it prompts you to specify the folder with the .igs file scenes. You specify the folder, then it prompts you to specify the output folder, how many SPP you want each image to render to, tonemapping, white balance, and aperature diffraction settings.

It begins to render the animation, and when the image is rendered to however many SPP you specified, it saves it to the output folder with the same name as the .igs file.

After the animation is completed, it prompts you to specify what playback settings you would like the animation to have (FPS, format, output folder,etc.), then it combines all of the images into a video and saves it to the specified location.

After it is saves, Indigo should ask if you would like to delete the .IGS files and image files that were used to create the animation.

Again, just a rough idea, I'd love to hear what you guys think
Posted that a few months ago..

But maybe you could somehow integrate animation into the coding of the .igs file? Something like

Camera position frame 1 = 2,2,2
Camera Angle frame 1 = 23,35,93

... or something

I like the above idea, but you would need some way of gauging the correct spp, tonemapping, white balance, etc settings before applying them to every frame of the entire animation.
