blendigo is not recognizing lamps

[tampablendie]

I'm running blendigo with blender 2.46 and indigo 1.09. Every time I try to export the render I get the message "Indigo needs at least one light source." No matter how many lights I use this is the message I get.

thanks in advance

You must put in the scene at least one light source...or a sunlight or a meshlight(with material light)...

I have multiple light sources????

[Pinko5]

what kind of light???
environment setup?? if you set up phisical sky+sunlight you must put in the scene a lamp---> sun...
you can try a simple scene with a cube and a sunlight...then in the environment tab set phisical sky+sunlight....you must see your render.
Bye

PS: try to see the light section in our wiki blendigo.

Blendigo only recognizes one type of lamp, and that's "sun" (only one of them is allowed, I believe). For all other lighting needs you need to create a mesh and assign it an emitter material (although it's not really a material, that's the way it's presented in Blendigo).

For information related specifically to mesh emitters and how to use them, you can check out this section of the wiki. http://www.indigorenderer.com/joomla/in ... ew#emitter

It's because a point-shaped lightsource is
a) very inefficient in an unbiased renderer(the chance that it gets detected is close to an infinitesimal) and
b) very unrealistic - Today you have extremely tiny lightsources, that's sure.... Some leds are more or less microscopic. But none of them really are point shaped.

In other words, forget everything about Blender lamps you ever thought you knew. (except the sun, that is)

Thanks guys.

I had three light sources in the scene none of which were a sun lamp. Indigo seems like a pretty cool renderer I'm going to enjoy learning it. It seems to look a lot like an ambient occlusion render in Blender.
