Blendigo installed but no render or export option on mac

[cheese on toast2]

Hi,

Sorry if this problem has already been adressed, but to the best of my knowlesge it hasnt.
Ive just installed the latest version of indigo and blendigo, but there doesnt appear to be any indigo option under the 'export' or 'render' menus in blender. Am I missing something blatently obvious?

Any replies very much appreciated

Hi.

Is your "blender.app" directly located under "/Applications/"? Please start Console.app to see what's Blender's output at the start.

My problem was that I have located Blender under /Applications/blender/Blender.app - but Blendigo's installer looks for "/Applications/blender.app" (case sensitive).

Good luck - tell me when it works or just drop a post if you have any trouble

Hi

Yeah, I think I may have the same problem as you had, blender.app is loacted in /Applications/blender/Blender.app

Did you move blender.app or did you just create an alias of the .app in the Applications folder?

EDIT: I decided just to move the blender.app and I now have the option to export to indigo, but when i click 'save with indigo' I get this error in the console:

12/08/2009 12:20:11 [0x0-0x1b01b].org.blenderfoundation.blender[231] File "/Applications/blender.app/Contents/MacOS/.blender/scripts/blendigo.py", line 64, in <module>
12/08/2009 12:20:11 [0x0-0x1b01b].org.blenderfoundation.blender[231] indigoLogo = Blender.Image.Load(os.path.join(assetsPath, "indigo_logo.png"))
12/08/2009 12:20:11 [0x0-0x1b01b].org.blenderfoundation.blender[231] IOError: couldn't load image

I'm guessing its looking for an image of the indigo logo and can't find it?

Oh yes, now I remember: that's an error in the Installer of Blendigo for MacOS. The assets folder is not copied correctly. So just download the zip-file attached to this post. It contains the "missing" assets folder. This folder (not only the contents - the whole folder) has to be copied to the following location:

Code: Select all

/Applications/blender.app/Contents/MacOS/.blender/scripts/blendigopkg/

You can do this in terminal by using the following commands:

Code: Select all

cd /Applications/blender.app/Contents/MacOS/.blender/scripts/blendigopkg/
mv /Users/cheese/assets/ .

You have to replace the location of the assets folder in the second command to whereever you extracted the zipfile. Don't forget the "." at the end which means the current folder.

Thanks! that worked! But i now have another problem. Indigo crashes whilst 'Building scene'

In console I get this:

Now what?

[griesenglonz]

Congratulations. Sorry, but I have no idea what could cause this error. Does this happen with a quite simple scene too?

Ah, dont worry, it seems indigo had issues with my lighting, i just deleted it and made a new light source. Thanks very much for the help!

[griesenglonz]

Great. Have a lot of fun!

cheese on toast - you shouldnt be able to segfault (or bus error) indigo - if you get that error again can you zip up the scene and email it to nick@indigorenderer.com ?

[cheese on toast2]

sure thing! I do still have the scene that caused it, but I can't get it to do the same thing again now. I must have changed something slightly before I abandoned it
