problem with version test 7 of indigo and current exporter..

[Kosmokrator]

hi suvakas......i dont know if u test the new indigo version on your exporter but in my scene with candles.....it turns out totaly diferent...especialy the candles....and the whole image i think is darker...any ideas?
i try to enable-disable the bidir (if this is the cause of strange results)
via the .ini file but the bidis always get true...

please make some test and give me feedback!thnx a lot!


p.s and now we need some update for the new features i think

Hi Kosmo,

Did you edit the correct ini file? Maxigo uses different copy of inifile which is located under Exported_From_Max folder. I think i also wrote about it in Maxigo's readme.txt
Exporter should work fine otherwize, cause there wasn't any other major changes besides Bidir.

The new version of Maxigo will be out soon.

ok suv i edit the ini file from your exporter and the bidir on/off work ok....
the reason of the digerences in my candles image is the bidir stuff....renders complete diferent with bidir enable...i must retune the material settings for candles....thnx suv and i wait for the next release of your exporter!

Hi Kosmo.
The final result should be the same with or without bidir.
However, currently bidirectional tracing will scale very badly with highly scattering media like candle wax.
So you might want to stick with bidir=false for this scene.

hhmmm..thnx ono for this tip.....i lit image render for a while and if i dont satisfy i turn off the bidir stuff!
