The other solution uses a round light as in this tutorial.
From the tutorial: "You could expect that the sunlight would be enough to light the scene, but when a picture is computed at a point of view placed in a house, sunlight actually doesn't produce that much light in Sweet Home 3D,"
Yeah, I found that out for myself--which was reason #3 why so few of my interior pictures are sunlit. But I didn't want to "cheat" by adding in non-diegetic light sources; the sole exception was that in one of my pictures of the scullery, I added in a tiny little light (like 2% or so) behind the island, so you could see that there's a cat looking out at you from behind the stepladder.
Looking forward to see what you can do with Enko's light panels and the Simple Photo Rendering plugin.
Is there a difference between the Simple Photo Rendering plugin and the Create Photo tool?
Thanks for the praise, everyone.
Yeah, I put a lot of time into this--I tend to be something of a perfectionist with my hobby projects.
