Indigo Renderer 3.0 Released!

pbacot

I just DL'd Indigo trial hours prior to the change. So far in my latest attempt to move further into rendering it has got to the results I wanted for an interior, the easiest of a collection of renderers. I have been working with Kerkythea a lot but can't seem to get the lights to cast effectively more than a few feet (wherein they look like welding torches on the nearest surface). But K-T seems to have much more control in the end.

Indigo seems to have

Work inside your sketchUp model, no separate editing (and perhaps this means limitation compared to the studio setups), so no having to reload and re-edit, back load materials etc.
Realistic or easily manageable lighting.
Readily accessible material presets for the newbie.
You can use 2 point perspective-- I haven't figured out how to do that in K-T.

So RT (which I will try next) might be a good step, especially on sale. Now to try the updates.

So, what is the deal with light layers? I appreciate in K-T that you can easily select each light, whereas in Skindigo (so far) I need to navigate to each light to edit it (though components work for identical lights). Will I find some easier way to do this in either version? Outliner?

Mouth-watering.

I bought Octane some time ago but I was disappointed by its limitation to just 32 full-color textures.

Dale, why is Indigo RT so cheap? Is there a limitation on the number of textures, too?

I just found the product comparison chart:

Seems like I'll be missing SSS and IES. Is there a roadmap for future Indigo RT features?

Qustion for Ecuadorian.

What do you mean with: "limitation to just 32 full-color textures"?.
