materials for 1.xx versions

[pitat450]

Haloo,
I am using the old version of indigo (1.xx), and wondering why some EXTERNAL materials dont work, is there a way I can tell which would work and which would not? Or is the old verison considered obsolete and the materials thus would not work at all?
thanx for reply..

The best last free is 1.1.18. For external mat, you need to use the same name for you blender mat and external mat. If it doesn't work, I don't know why... Can you show us some screen shots?

Hi,

I am pretty sure that it's better to use Blendigo 1.1.18 with Indigo 1.1.18

TRUE! Nice!I had the 1.1.18 installer which kept giving me 1.1.14 py script, anyways all seem much better now, only...at the rippled water mat now it says that material has not been defined, which is NONSENCE, cuzz it was defined...other materials are working fine already!! well that is cool

Ok, so, for instance this material
http://www.indigorenderer.com/materials/materials/184
produces this message in indigo



i assume its the shader,
anyway i really wonder why this happens,
thanx...
