Indigo Renderer 2.0.8

[OnoSendai]

Hi Pibuz,
this is definitely a light leak, and can be fixed / worked-around by modelling the wall with thickness.
But can you email me your scene (packed with textures), and I'll have a look at it? Thanks.

[Whaat]

Ono will look into it - it may be a bug with our nudge code.

It would be nice if this could be fixed. I associate light leaks with biased renderers and I am sure other users do as well.

Plus, most users simply do not want to always model walls with thickness. Workflow, workflow, workflow...

Exactly.

Ono, I'm so sorry but I no longer have the scene...
Was done for this test and then removed.

CTZn: sorry pal. I re-read my post and It seems like I was angry with you :)
That was absolutely not my intention, sorry again. Perhaps I let some of my recent worries to ruin my humor. Sorry mate.

[CTZn]

No problem Pibuz, I felt your anger a bit I think but didn't took it on me, no bad feelings at all ;)

Can the nudge be internally based on material type ? Don't really know if that could help anyway...

* Sky and Sun can now be on different layers, using <sun_layer> and <sky_layer>, see sun_sky_layer_test.igs

OMG, this is great! Now it can be used like a normal ambient light! :)

On a side note, are there plans for an a built in online updater? I know next to zero about coding, so im wondering how much a challenge this might be to tackle...?

The clear stipes are certainly a consequence of what Ben described to me; giving the walls some depth (real modeling) should fix that I guess.

What if I don't want them to be modeled any further?
What if I just want a room to be a clean box?
I mean, I should have the possibility to choose the easiest way, don't you agree?

I have made a clean box and it worked out well, all the vertices share the same edged though.
I'm running on 2.0.9

Hi Pixie! That is really neat, indeed.
I don't know if ono corrected some kind of bugs between 2.0.8 and 2.0.9 version (even if I don't think so: no time..), but it seems like your scene is perfect..
I really don't know why mine looks so odd..
Perhaps is a matter of phong materials, try adding a glossy floor maybe..
I don't know...
BTW, I can ensure that my scene is extremely simple, and that no strange things are present, like reversed faces, or intersecting planes or so on..

You're using an exit portal, Pixie isn't.

Quite wrong are you my friend... ;)

On this new set of boxes/images no exit portals were armed, still, they look almost the same, yet it seem to be some leaking on the box who doesn't share the same edges...

pixie, it does not matter if faces share the same vertices in c4d or not. they are merged on export.

the light leaks are actually pretty easy to reproduce. a scene is on the way...

here we go, scene plus example rendering.

So why they happen?

i guess its because of the change in the self-intersection avoidance code.
