Indigo Renderer Forum

Hello guys,

first of all let me say Indigo is better integrated in Blender than ever - the exporter
works 120% of the time, mostly on the first time!
There's one issue I can't solve since the good old 2.49 exporter and this is
to define an exr/hdr environment texture in blender to be picked up by the indigo
exporter.
Usually a background texture is defined in the 'world/texture tab', but it doesn't get exported at the moment.
A nice quick workaround would be to add a custom property in the 'scene tab',
whick adds the entry in the .igs-xml, but I don't know how to format the code, so blender
would write the entry...

Does anyone know, how to format that?

Cheers!

it would make sense to find that option there, but the way you do it is by adding a hemi light, which you can then choose to be a flat BG color or you can add the environment image to.

Thank you, it works really well. It's just not obvious!

It's not obvious but has a distinct advantage. If you'd add it as a world texture you cannot rotate it to fit your scene. With a hemi light you can rotate it.
