Problem with Indigo render lights

[Vercors]

Im doing this: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=33cc1f10f2cfdf13e8ecbc8e672e253d&hl=de&ct=lc
tutorial, but at "Materials 1" it says right-click and then "100W Incandescent". Thats not in the list, so I go to the Edit button and there I press "assign present" and then "100W Incandescent". But then it says I should press "OK", but there is no OK-Button.
When I try to preview, there is an error: "Blackbody lights are currently not supported by this feature"
and there is no Image, just the red cross on a white ground.

Thanks for help

Hi Vercors,

Which version of Indigo and SkIndigo are you using ? The tutorial has been made for v. 0.9. There have been some changes since then, and some features may not be available any more (more precisely the way to achieve them has changed).

[Vercors]

The Tutorial didn't tell me to set it to black.
I'll try it.

Setting the environment to 'Sketchup- black' wont help with the preview, although it should ensure you can see the lights when you render the scene out.

I never got light emitting materials to work with the preview, btw. Its fairly easy to work out what they look like after a few test renders, though.

Ah, thanks, I found the Problem now. I've just set black and not the sketchUp Background color.
Im rendering for 4 min now and It works perfectly.
Ill see how long I will net it render.
It should be possible to continue modelling the model I'm rendering while the renderer is still rendering? Erm... I hope you know what I mean.

Edit: One more quiestion:
It is possible to let an object glow in an other color like red?
I was also trying a lavalamp and wanted to have red bubbles.

Edit:
Another question:
The should be a photo in the picture frame and the folder should be colored.
How did the color disappear?

Yes you can

The greater your emitter's power value, the less you'll see its original color. Set a low power, and you should see your red color, provided your emitter is not the sole light source AND you are not using Reinhard tonemapping.
Also, check "color" and not "temperature" in the Emitter Attributes.

I'd say back face issue or special characters (é è à ç etc.) in the material/image names or folders.
