Material Database and Blender?

[bubabrown]

How should I use material database files http://www.indigorenderer.com/joomla/in ... Itemid=108 in Blender/Blendigo?

I have tried several ways but I probably use material files in a wrong way. Can anybody help and describe shortly the workflow how to use .pigm files in Blendigo?

Thank you very much in advance.

Personnally, when I have to deal with .pigms this is what I do (you'll need 7zip):

1. Select the .pigm (right-click) and choose the option 7zip -> Extract Here.
2. Make sure the image name (the file) is the same as the one inside the .igm (that you just extracted). For this use notepad.
3. Use the .igm by using the "External mat" material type.
4. Make sure the name of the material in Blender is the same as specified inside the .igm. For this check the <name>...</name> tags.
