Re: Automatic lights
Is it possible to automatically turn on the lights according to the time of day ?

Simple answer: Yes.
I created a light panel whose apparent power varies according to the position of the sun.
It turns off automatically when it is dark and comes back gradually when it is day.
I think the opposite, off the day and on at night, is feasible.

Complicated answer: But ..
For this to work, you must add a keyword to the name of the light object so that it is taken into account by the PhotoRenderer file so it will not work with the default lights.
As this file has been modified for version 6.0 of Sweet Home 3D, I must first make the photo plug-in compatible with the improvements made by Emmanuel Puybaret. After, I could include a new automatic light sphere (unviewable) responding to the request.
