&'ings to know
-"ere are se,eral concepts you need to know to know to %ully understand
"ow !ndigo works and "ow Maxigo treats t"ese concepts. 'e%er to t"e Indigo
man#al and t"e Te%hni1#es Man#al %or more detailed in%ormation.
Indigo is p'#sicall# based
!ndigo is a p"ysically based renderer: t"at means t"at i% is possible to
construct a p"oto in t"e real world: it is possible to render it in !ndigo. Maxigo
"as t"e Aob o% con,erting t"e ,irtual world o% 3ds Max into t"e real world
representation used by !ndigo.
$sers wit" experience o% studio p"otograp"y may %ind setting up a scene in
!ndigo a %amiliar experience.
(nits o) measurement
!ndigo works on units o% metres. Maxigo by de%ault con,erts on 3ds Max unit
o% distance to one metre in real world space. Select an obAect and press n to
see t"e position o% t"e obAect in 3ds Max units to get an idea o% t"e scale o%
your scene. )ecause !ndigo is a p"ysically6based renderer: it is important t"at
t"e scale is correct.
*ig't sources
3ds Max "as some lig"t6sources t"at do not exist in t"e real6world = %or
example point lig"ts ?lig"ts t"at are in%initesimally small and exceptionally
brig"t@ and <in,isible spotlig"ts<. -o use !ndigo correctly you will need to
master <emitting materials< to create realistic lig"ts in your scenes.
Page +
,ealistic Materials
)ecause !ndigo is a p"oto6realistic renderer: t"e material properties o% obAects
must be o% a "ig"er detail to accurately simulate t"em. -"is not only means
"ig"er resolution textures: but also correctly set material types t"at describe
t"ings about t"e material: suc" as transparency: roug"ness o% t"e sur%ace:
and "ow lig"t mo,es t"roug" t"e obAect.
