Indigo plugin is not working in IC 7.3. IC7.just breaks down, when I try to render a picture with the indigo plugin.Why?

Yep!! Same Problem Here. Probably to do with getting iC7 ready to be able render with iRay, maybe can't have both together so they disable indigo.

  

Do you think they discontinued it because of iray?

This is sad. I would like for Peter to inquire the Dev team and clarify. I would want to have both Indigo and Iray be available and fully functional in future versions.
Moreover I think Indigo plugin should be reinstated, revamped and fully support RT 4. Each one of those 2 engines have their own advantages.
And Indigo has clear advantage in render speed over Iray. They should coexist.

Thank you for notifying us of this issue. We do apologise for the inconvenience caused.

We now have a new patch that should resolve the problem for you. Please download it from your Member Account > Registration page.

Unfortunately the Indigo RT plug-in is now a discontinued product and no longer for sale. However we will continue to support it for iClone 7 users.

Thanks Peter, That's great. Downloaded and did a 6 min test render in iClone 7.3, everything worked fine.

  

Well, I upgraded to Indiog RT 4 (actually just the trial) and exported the scene out of IC7 (after doing the latest patch to Indigo), and it opened in RT4 and I was able to render fine. I was getting about 3.84M samples/second with my Titan X (Pascal) which was close to the Indigo Benchmark test I did. I will do a comparison of total samples vs iRay and see what the render speed difference is. Actually realized that I had to pause the render to get OpenCL going, when did so the speed jumped to about 38M samples per second.

You can use multi-GPU as well for faster speed.

Thanks. Indigo plugin is now working perfectly again.
