Hello -

I searched the forum and did some google but cant find a solution

My setup:

blender 2.46 with ubuntu 8.04 and indigo 1.0.9_3 under wine 1.xx

blendigo is v1.09

Blendigo seems to work but indigo couldnt load the texture(s) for the material preview scene. Here is the log:

Code: Select all

Scene file path: 'previews/IMPmatdb.xml'

Using working directory path 'previews'.

Loading Scene 'previews/IMPmatdb.xml'...

Using Reinhard tone mapping with pre_scale=7.000000, post_scale=1.150000, burn=5.500000

Processing included XML file 'previews\previewmats.xml...

(around line 16) WARNING: Overriding material definition for material 'null'.

Calculating energy loss compensation curve for exponent 500.000000

trying to load texture from 'previews\..\textures\preview_logo.jpg'...

couldn't open 'previews\..\textures\preview_logo.jpg' for reading.

Thanks in advance for your help!

There is no scene yet

I just followed the tutorial posted here in the forum http://www.indigorenderer.com/joomla/fo ... php?t=2921

It says that i can do a Material preview ...

Now press the Preview Button, and in a short time a new window will open rendering the default sphere scene from the previews downloaded together with the blendigo exporter

Ha!

The default selection in my blendigo script was matDB for material-previews, not sphere like in the tutorial. It works now to render the sphere preview!

I dont know what "matDB" stands for and what should indigo render when this is selected - but it doesnt work

I guess I had to check the matDB XML ...

Eeek!

Sorted it out!

in the matDB XML in previews (default for material preview in blendigo 1.09) is this:

Code: Select all

<path>..\textures\preview_sss-bar.jpg</path>

i changed it to this:

Code: Select all

<path>/textures/preview_sss-bar.jpg</path>

now it works like a charm

@SmartDen: Maybe you can fix this, or add a comment to the readme for all those linux users ... ?

Thanks!
