hi Clinton, can you check line 278 in the exporter, it seems unless I comment out this line then I get an error when trying to use an environment map.
I may be doing something wrong but if you can check it then I will review and go through what I'm doing again tomorrow.
I am using indigo v1.1.18.

//if(!fso.FileExists(EnvMapFile)) fileError = fileError + EnvMapFile + "\n";//Nov 2009
}
regards
Paul

That error means that it didn't find the file for the environment. I'll check it out and let you know.

Edit: The bug is squashed. There is a link to an updated installer on the website.

yes , that bug is squashed , .
thanks

I will try find some time to do some renders,, ..

Updated 2012 with easier to use materials and support for ies based spotlights.


easier to use materials - parameters exposed so the LE is not needed
IMEBank materials removed - use igm files instead
MeshLights removed - use emitter materials
use with new ies based spotlight script
randomizer for script material - makes them unique so trueSpace can see the difference
the environment settings node is always in the scene now
more error checking = fewer crashes
material default values match the Indigo material editor defaults
packaged scene is included in installer zip archive

Multiple materials per mesh. The one material per mesh limitation has been removed.
