Hey!
First of all I would like just to thanks all developers that kept maintaining MacOS X PPC code for SweetHome 3D!
It's just fantastic to see my 2003 iMac G4 17" still receiving love from SH3D in 2023 (20th anniversary).
Version 7.1 running on it:
---
When it comes to "features requests" proposal, I would suggest:
- Keeping on maintaining the old PPC code in future :)
- Enable GPU accell for rendering (with the option to still use CPU rendering for compatibility reasons)
- Add to the Mac PPC build the YafaRay renderer to vastly improve renderer speed and quality
- Possibility to deactivate the "simultaneus 3D rendered view" to speed up performances on older systems. Yes the 3D view can be hidden but I'm not sure if it does deactivate the portion of code for 3D render in the background.
- I found myself keep on chaging "Wall Thickness" and "Wall Height" parameters in the Preference panel, which is quite annoying and time consuming. Couldn't it be worth to allow that in a more easier way? Maybe directly from the top menu (some integer textfield next to the create wall button)?
I'm not sure how much my features proposal are actually feasible.
Just my 50 cents here :).
Thanks again!
Cheers from Italy.
Francesco
