Indigo 1.1.1

Hi Ono, since I am no longer an active developer I do not want to comment on this but share a quick thought as you know I switched to .obj format some time ago. I think it is best to be fit to a standard that has been around for awhile and is quite common in 3D apps.

Well .obj will always be supported as an external format.
But I want to get a good internal format as well.

Hmm, it seems that in comparison to the indigo_x64_linux_v1.0.9_2-build (running 1.1.1 with wine) the 1.1.1-build needs a 2 step shorter exposure duration with camera tonemapping and the blending with null material doesn't support other values than black and white (no semi-transparent with grey values?). But I use a really crappy blendmap

and the blending with null material doesn't support other values than black and white

That would be bad

Exporter writers: do you think you can export your meshes in such a format?

not sure if it will be that easy to find out which surfaces are continuous and which are not... at least in c4d. dunno about other apps

Again don't call me exp. writer but I *believe* Maya can generate the embedded_2 format, hopefully through python cause mel is waayy too slow for reasonable meshes.

As for continuity issues... have you got a usefull link please

If that's about manifold geometry then Maya should sort it out too.

Now Maya is no reference because it has (or rather "is") a devellopement environment.

Hey Ono,
Well..I hate to say this, but xml format is the last thing i want to use when exporting from Max. It is slow and not useable for more serious scenes. Can you answer more clearly if obj and 3ds formats will work like they have so far? With or whitout the displacement and/or normal smoothing?

Post by **OnoSendai** » Mon Jun 02, 2008 3:07 am

Obj will work as before, with normal smoothing.
With displacement.. well it depends on how 3ds contructs the .obj files.

Oh... and what is the important criterion(s) ? Not only Max is concerned with obj format.

Do you mean you build obj imort engine in Indigo according to 3dsMax output ?

Nope, that's not what he meant. It's the other way around

This is a recent error I have. Does anyone knows the reason why?

Post by **fused** » Wed Jun 04, 2008 5:04 am

sry thats due to cindigo. the matrix i generate is bad at times.
will be fixed in the next release. a simplified test scene would help, tho.

Hi everyone!

I have to admit I haven't read all the messages in this subject, but I think you'll be able to help me - as I'm getting totally MAD trying to find an answer!
:-(

I've recently downloaded some pre-made materials from Indigo's MatDB, but some of them don't work with Blender.

I've tried (and succeeded!) in changing the script in several XML files (extracted from the PIGM file) so that they work fine with Blender/Indigo...

BUT... in one of them, there's the following tag:
<displacement_map> (......) </displacement_map>
The problem is that Blender doesn't recognise this tag.
:-(

I tried to change it to
<disp_map>
<displ_map>
<disp>
and others...(thinking I could get lucky at some point!...)
But none of them worked...

Before you ask, I did look for an answer in many forums on the internet, but without success, even on Python's official website...

Many many many thanks in advance for those who could help me there...

(And sorry if I'm not posting this in the right subject thread...)

Bye!
:-)

I dont understand what you mean by "blender doesnt recognize the displacement tag", unless you meant indigo?

And which version of Blendigo/Indigo are you using?

madcoo · Post by **madcoo** » Fri Jun 26, 2009 1:02 am

I'm using Blender and Indigo's latest (stable) versions...

Yes, I meant Indigo doesn't recognise the displacement_map tag...
I get an error message telling me it doesn't recognise this command line...
:-(

Thanks...
