Igor's renderings

When your using indigo, you use SU to set up the scene and then just click the 'render'button, which exports the scene in to indigo automatically.

when i open indigo, there apears to be no render button. is the button in the exporter?
ive only messed around with it for about 25 minutes, so i havnt discovered much. thanks for the help!

If you use the render button in SU, it should all start up automatically.

igor · 11 Apr 2008, 08:46

i dont see a render button, you shure your talking about indigo? podium has a render button.

here is another render, from podium, model found on the ware house

hope it works. the file was to big to attach

edit d'oh, didnt work. just copy/paste the link

make sure youve got the indigo toolbar up (view->toolbar->SKindigo), and your looking for the button below:

igor · 12 Apr 2008, 03:27

hey, thanks a ton. i feel kind of stupid now, especialy since you had to make a drawing for me. I never thought of looking under "view"! indigo renderings are on thier way!!

remus · 12 Apr 2008, 08:03

LOL, its not obvious until you know what your looking for. And I'm looking forward to seeing those renders

igor · 13 Apr 2008, 00:28

indigo refuses to work! the tool bar show up, but there are no buttons on it! (d'oh), i messed around w/ the files, and now the tool bar doesnt even show up!! i looked on the indigo site and they said to just put the file in the plugins folder.
it didnt work

in the mean time, here is another podium rendering (model found on 3-d warehouse):

Hi Igor

Seems to me you like Podium. Come and join us on the Podium forum. You will find a lot of help (if needed) there.

igor · 14 Apr 2008, 19:12

im well on my way with podium.
easiest. renderer. ever.

im trying to learn indigo for a class project (long story). simply put, i want to get some biger renders without having to spend lots of $

indigo refuses to work though!!! maybe my 5 other plugins are messing with it...

igor · 16 Apr 2008, 00:31

my plight with indigo continues. the buttons dont show up on the tool bar. when ever i try to use one of the options, it opens windows exporer and then an eror mesage that wont go away no matter how many times you click the "continue" button. the only way to get rid of it is to close SU, wich generates a bug slpat. the renders look great when i get the image into indigo, but getting it there is definatly not worth it. podium 2.0, where are you?

remus · 16 Apr 2008, 07:54

Igor, im not sure what youve done to indigo, but it seems to have gone badly wrong!

If you can be bothered, id suggest wiping indigo from your system (and skindigo) and then trying a clean re install. If youve been palying aorund with it theres a good chance something went astray, and its usually much harder to fix it than to just reinstall the whole thing.

igor · 16 Apr 2008, 13:55

thanks for the advice remus. say, do you have a brother named romulus?...

here are some more renderings. credit to whoever make the highly accurate BMW!

remus · 16 Apr 2008, 14:05

Nope, i dont have a brother called romulus, although it would be rather coincedental if i did

Nice render btw, very clean, perhaps experiment with the lighting a bit to get soem more feel in there.

igor · 16 Apr 2008, 14:22

right now i have another render baking. i didnt playaround w/ the lighting, just with reflection. comings soon! (ie, when i get back from school).

remus · 16 Apr 2008, 14:31

I look forward to it

igor · 16 Apr 2008, 22:53

fresh from the oven! i dont know what happened to the ball on the left, maybe it started to "cut" in to the car?

this took about 1700/10,000 iterations of the podium render script. on my wimpy computer that might as well have no grafix card.

next up: indor scenes!

igor · 17 Apr 2008, 02:02

ok, skrew indigo!!!!! i am soo pissed at it right now! not only did i spend my time uninstalling and reinstalling it 2 times, now it has messed with my prefrences!!!! now, instead of starting with the normal SU screen, it starts with the view from the top, completly monochrome style and no bryce!!! and no matter what i do, it wont go back!!

i went so far as to remove all my plugins fron the plugins folder, leaving only indigo and its path to the program, and it still wont work!!! i still get error mesages ever time i try to use it, and the buttons dont show up!!!!

i am officialy boycoting indigo. end of story. bye bye! podium RULES

remus · 17 Apr 2008, 08:29

Thats very strange indeed. Do you know how to set your template that loads at startup? window->preferneces->template, and just set it to the one you had before.

igor · 18 Apr 2008, 02:29

thx remus. ill try. in themean time, heres another render (the floor glitched again. i just copy the model to another file, right?) :
