Blender 2.79 version does not distort the white point E... in blender 3-4 and c4d it displays a greenish tint of the camera after export, as I understand it, the .blend 2.79 file contains additional data for export, but version 2.79 does not support custom normals (nurbs)

I also didn’t find how to add <b>...</b> power for hdr in blender 2.79 / 3-4, I have to edit it through notepad (we are in the future in 2024 )

hdri+sun <b> example:

<b> scale hdri

didn't find the dithering option in blendigo-4.3.0 and blendigo-4.5.0, but this can be added via inifile.xml

Code: Select all

<renderer_settings>
		<gpu_max_depth>32</gpu_max_depth>
		<optimise_for_denoising>false</optimise_for_denoising>
		<denoise>false</denoise>
		<dithering>true</dithering>

If you install linux cachyos arch based on a laptop, it displays monitor colors more correctly when editing indigo curves, and the Linux version of indigo is much more productive than Windows 11. And it doesn’t matter whether it’s through wine or the original Linux version of indigo.

I managed to get the blendigo 4.5.0 to work with Blender 4.2 (LTS). Just needed to comment out a line in indigo-exporter\export\igmesh.py.

Line 100
mesh.calc_normals_split()

Change to
#mesh.calc_normals_split()

Been a long time since I have used indigo, and wanted to try it out again, bit sad to see it has stopped being developed.

Sad indeed!

Thank you very much for your reply Zalevskiy

Blender 4.3 can be made to work with the newest version of Blendigo. If there is interest, I can post the process/hack of how I got that to work.

I believe the normal "install from disk" installation process of Add-Ons that was still possible in 4.0 is no longer working.
I move the respective folder from the Blender 4.0 installation to the Blender 4.3 installation.
Then I commented out line 100 in igmesh.py.
That call calculated custom split vertex normals.

mesh.calc_normals_split()

I believe that isn't necessary anymore as the Blender API has changed.
