@ fused: don't use pure white as default mat! It would need longer

take a bright neutral gray

cool...thank you for the file. and i think i am crazy...=) the file is working with my exporter. i think it's my fault. and i think i know the problem. i selected the render method "pathtracing" and this isn't working....

thank you for your support.

pathtracing should work (at least from indigo, don't know, if it works for the exporter) but most pics are looking better with MTL-Raytracing! (It's slower, but needed for most scenes, which don't have enough direct light)

First of all: THANK YOU EVERYBODY SOOOO MUCH for the great job! I stopped testing Indigo when the BL-Exporter didn't work anymore, now fused makes me happy again!

Unfortunately the exporter makes my C4d crash (both versions 9.6 and 10)..
if I open the test scene delivered with the exporter, or the 'exporter test.rar' of WLAD, they are exported correctly, and indigo runs ok. But if I click on the 'indigo render settings' tab, I get those error messages:

Symbol Type_latlong not found.. line 80
Symbol Type_spherical not found line 80
Error reading resource: file .......res-description-tmyrendersettingsexp.res line 88

I tried to add the two code-lines at the end of the tmyrendersettingsexp.str, asProtocultura suggested:

TYPE_LATLONG "Lat/Long";
TYPE_SPHERICAL "Spherical";

but I get the same message..
What am I doing wrong?

thank you and greets from Italy

i noticed a difference between
\res\strings_de\description\tmyrendersettingsexp.str
and
\res\strings_us\description\tmyrendersettingsexp.str

of a few lines at the end. i fixed that, now Cinema doesn't crash immediately when i ckick on the render setting icon (that works well now), but crashes when i try to save the exported file. I get this message:

does anybody have the same problem?

thanks, bye!

Hi! the bugreport says LOTS of things

!! I can send it to you as PM, but before you loose your time with it, I am going to try with another PC, to check if the error will be repeated..
could you please check the \res\strings_us\description\tmyrendersettingsexp.str?

Besten dank! Thanks a lot!

Marco

found a small bug.. exr. lighting not working!

the lat_long lines are missing, should be like this:

<env_map>
<latlong>
<path>xxxxx.exr</path>
<gain>1</gain>
</latlong>
</env_map>

Ciao! Thanks..

Thank you fused for the new release!

And also thanks for implementing the default mat.

But when I export from C4D, the scene is still always named "justsomerandomcrap.xml" whether if I add the extension ".xml" to my chosen name or not. But the .3ds and .obj files get the right names.

The menue point "Info..." also seems to do nothing yet.

(I tried both of these with the C4D releases R9.6 and R10.1)

Post by **fused** » Sat Mar 31, 2007 10:00 pm

yes i know both issues.

im working on the filename. its about converting a cinema string to cstring for tinyXml. dont know how to do it (yet).

info isnt supposed to work.
