triggering indigo render from Blender

[psor]

wow psor! just tried it out in windows and works great! Pretty neat for a hack!

Thanx!

One question, where is the temp xml file created? EDITED AGAIN: duh! just noticed it's the same as the previous exporter, only with the option to exec Indigo.
Edit: ahhhh! you create a bat file!!! hehehhehehhe clever my dear Watson, clever!

Yes, I haven't found another way to change the workingdir, if you work with
blender it's obviosly the blender installdir and Indigo cannot find the ini files,
so I had to change the dir per shell script.

Couldn't an option to look for indigo's path be added in the exporter GUI? This way all you gotta do is look for your installation folder and the conf file is created as output from this info.

Hehe, ... I already had an option in the GUI but I removed it, because I
couldn't get it to work as it should, but that's just because this is my very
first python hack ... well and I'm not a blender user, ... haha.

And can't the conf file be located inside of indigo's folder?

Hmm, I guess not, because how should I tell the exporter script where to
find the configuration file? That's why I started to use the blender bpydata
directory, it has a environment variable set to it, so it's easy to find.

PS.: Even if I'm no blender user it was hurting my heart that the blender
exporter was lacking the option to execute Indigo ... hehe. Anyway, that
happens if I'm not in the right mood to use my right brain.

many thanks Psor, extra cool work.

You are very welcome!




take care

psor:
Thanks for your help. Still, I get the exact same error so it probably has nothing to do with the way you (or I) are calling indigo. Anyway, now, for sure, I know it's possible. I just need to look a bit harder at my environment. Again, many thanks.

Cheers.

I just saw this updated script, and I'm curious, about the the spaced (Program Files) directories. Is there not some way the script could simply look up the non-spaced (Progra~1) DOS directory names..?

Btw, it worked just fine with the .conf hack. A very handy time saver, thanks.
