Indigo Renderer Forum

Ok so I don't want any crap about my coding
Take it or leave it
Here is a personal work in progress I am posting for those who might want to play with difffuse transmitters before zuegs codes it 'officially'
The Solidworks stuff is not functional yet but I am working at it...just a collection of useful bits presently...

EDIT file removed - see further down

lol
One from you, one From SmartDen xD
NOW, that may get confusing

Well if you don't like it f off and...I posted first anyway. ...and could have done 3hrs earlier ...
I only put it up now for early experimenters with diff trans to play with
I thought I said that
This variant is really about including Solidworks stuff which smartDen probably has no interest in
ok

I never said, I don't like it, I just found it funny, that you both more or less posted the same MAIN-feature (diffuse transmitter support) at more or less the same time

OK to let you know I'm making progress here is a started render
This came from SW2005 - 300 meshes -900,000 faces in blender, indigo trees made 500mb

great model!!!

is there a model from the rest of the plane too?

that would be or so.

not that I am aware of...it would be a very big model though with that detail...probably too big for SW to handle in practical terms...and too big for Blender and Indigo as well
this took all of my 1.5gb and some paging at the end to set up the trees and ran about 1.3 gb while rendering (with Blender open)
there are quite a lot of hidden parts here but I think it shows that you will tend to run out of ram before the model gets especially big at least for engineering stuff...still using Yafray pushes it up to that sort of use too

Ok SW folks here is a .blend file with a blendigo beta1 SW embedded in it.
I use dual monitors so the display reflects that sorry
The other small py in there is a layer manager just to help naming...
At present only some of the metals are provided in .nk form.
Hopefully I or someone can make a modified set for things like brass etc.
The render is a careless experiment with a SW exploded assy.
I hope I have provided something useful but its still in development - let me know how testing it goes
and you know my coding skills are learn as you go right?

EDIT: removed file - see further down

wow - great pic!
do a bigger render and upload it to gallery!

yeah!
exactly do that!
(and wait, 'til it's kinda noisefree)

Well I don't have the igs anymore it was just a quick trial...
The main mission now is to make some .nk materials - it seems to me many of the indigo included ones are a bit obscure but could be poached for renaming and mods to yield a set of near-enoughs for general engineering and ID purposes
When thats done I'll make a more realistic one and spend time rendering it
Thanks for the comments though
I see it has been downloaded 13 times as of the moment so there must be one or two interested people lurking.
I'll post another update in a while

Here is an update with some hacked together .nk files
These will need to be improved but its a start...
Use these in place of the supplied ones for SW
I set the exp quite low in the library to look like everyday mats rather than polished ones

Note: the smoothing operation can take some time on large files so look at the console to monitor progress

There is another quick render for you to see but with nk mats this time

BTW is anyone trying this or just looking at it out of curiousity?

Edit file removed see later post

You gotta do a high res render of that image

I wouldn't like that to happen to my engine during flight.

lol, nope
but actually, it CAN'T happen:
some parts have to break, before.
but EVERYTHING is intact, here
