Indigo 1.1.7

Untextured diffuse transmitter materials are rendering completely black using the new material format.

Textured diffuse transmitters seem to be working fine.

Great work on 1.1.7, OnoSendai. The new developments in Indigo are quite exciting.

I was testing out the use of 32-bit EXR files as displacement maps and I ran into a bit of a snag. I'm not sure why I'm getting large distorted polygons at the edge of the asteroid object in this image. At first, I thought I might have subdivide_pixel_threshold or subdivide_curvature_threshold set too high, but even with both dropped down to zero, I still get the artifacts. Any ideas?

If it helps, I'm using Indigo 1.1.7 on Windows XP Pro. I've got a 3.0 GHz dual-core Intel machine with 1 GB of RAM.

Incidentally, I don't see the artefacts if I just apply a subdivision smooth without the displacement. I also considered the possibility that it's a problem with the map (there's a texture seam near the area where I'm seeing the artefact). I tried moving the camera so that I was looking down on the seam, though, and I got no artefact at the seam -- only at the new edges of the object. So it does seem to be some sort of issue with displacements and faces whose surface normals are perpendicular to the camera direction.

Using the basic blend for a leaf shader, backfaces are rendered black in 1.1.7 while in 1.1.5 both faces were textured. MLT only.

Noticed a sun position shift, again.

I'm discovering the new UI, first contact is exciting.

Very nice update!

I don't know if you've noticed or if I'm doing anything wrong here, but I can't get indigo to network render my scene. It's lit with a EXR environment map. The funny thing though is that the scene works just fine if I remove the "-n m" flag.

The error message indigo gives me when i start the network render is:
"IndigoDriverException: No emitters inserted in scene."

I,m pretty sure one of the environment maps type is broken in this version, so it might be that. I honestly forgot which though.

Hey Ono, I just realized that <random_triangle_colours> is missed in the manual too...
Also subdivision seems to be missing too!

For me a day only have 24 hours, and it seems like Ono´s working
every minute of them...

So I gratefully take whats given to me for free, and what´s missing
will probably come in the future when time is....

Thank you Ono for a great job !
