I'm new to iClone. Decided to see if I like it better than Poser. I would like to purchase the Indigo Renderer plug-in but it's sold out? How can software be sold out? It's electronic software not physical!
If someone knows the answer to this please enlighten me!

Thanks!

i think what they were doing was offering deals like after sales of 1,000 units the price changes type of thing - either that or they have a limited number of keys to sell being that indigo is another company ?   logical reasons I can see why the use of the terminology "Sold out"

The plug in also works with the software purchased from indigo direct,   the plug in simply converts the render to an indigo compatible file.

Hello and thank you for the reply! I did download a version called IndigoRT from the Indigo website that was free. Not sure if this is legit or not. I used to use another similar plug-in for another software I use called Poser and it was free but it still needed another paid version of software for it to work. I'm really new to iClone so bare with me as I figure this all out.

Thanks!

The "Free" version available for download is a test version, with a lot of restrictions, and it won't work with iClone unless you have the Reallusion Plugin.

since you're new to Iclone, have you ever tried Iclone's current rendering engine? You already have the means to render very good quality since version 7 of Iclone, global illumination, occlusion, pbr, etc etc

Are they going to re-stock them?  
I wonder what the deal is.

At this point, I wouldn't bother with purchasing Indigo unless it's less than $50... The plugin, which is in need of a makeover, will not be updated for iClone 7, if I remember correctly. One of the current limitations is that it is sheer impossible to render animations of any complexity due to the required resources.

Especially when you just start out with iClone, it's much more productive to spend some time learning the ins and outs of the new iClone 7 features that greatly enhance render quality.

I think the limitations came from that in order to truly export all of iClone's elements, it had to create a set of images for each frame and render them in as a new scene essentially.  This was different than say Indigo C4D or Max, where you created an Indigo material that is rendering from the in-house scene itself, not from an export.  

Thanks everyone for the wonderful information, I really appreciate it!

I'm definitely going to try the rendering engine in iClone 7. I was just going by some of the past animations that I've seen posted by users on YouTube and the detail and realism didn't look very good. Thanks again for all your advice!
