I was not able to reproduce the red glass/plastic material shown in the blendigo wiki http://www.indigorenderer.com/joomla/in ... w#specular

Also the code in my xml (generated with blendigo 1.0.9) looks different than the code in the wiki document:

Code: Select all

<basic>
			<ior>1.55</ior>
			<cauchy_b_coeff>0</cauchy_b_coeff>
			<absorption_coefficient_spectrum>
				<rgb>
					<rgb>0 0.1 0.2</rgb>
					<gamma>2.2</gamma>
				</rgb>
			</absorption_coefficient_spectrum>
		</basic>

vs

Code: Select all

example of specular XML:

<specular>     
  <transparent>true</transparent>
  <ior>1.5</ior>
  <cauchy_b_coeff>0.0</cauchy_b_coeff>       
  <rgb_absorptivity>0 0.1 0.2</rgb_absorptivity>
</specular>

Why is the code different?

I found out that I can make the material more colored by raising the gain value, but it would be nice to have this explained in the wiki-document too.

The wiki has never been finished completely and its content checked for accuracy.
It was written and updated over several script versions and has not been touched in 3 months or by anyone else other than the original compiler.
The difference between the code example given and the generated xml in 1.0.9 stable was not appreciated at the time.
You are welcome to make any corrections and additions you find necessary or helpful.

Unfortunately I am new to indigo and do not know enough to make corrections to the wiki document.
