Re: Problems rendering images and movies... Przytula, 1 - How to inspect an SH3D file? Basically an SH3D file is just a zip-file. Under Ubuntu you can simply inspect it by double-clicking it. You then see a list with the contents of the file. This list consists for a large part of numbered zip files. Now, if you sort this list, you can easily find out which are the largest files. By double-clicking one of the files, you can see what's inside them. That's how I found out which of your models were the biggest. 2 - How to make a render? It's quite simple, but will take some time. Delete all the toys from the three book cases and save your model under a new name. This makes the file smaller and easier to handle. Now make all your furniture invisible. Make a Q3* test render of 300x300 pixels to see if it works. Make a few models visible and repeat. Make a few more models visible and repeat. Start by making those models visible that came with SH3D: these should work correctly. Only after making a successful 300x300 render, can you try to make a fullsize 1200x720 render. Do this when you have a vacation planned: it will be ready when you come back home! The black screen you get indicates that SH3D is preparing the internal model from which it makes the rendering. The red and green squares will appear only when that is ready. 3 - How to deal with DAE models from SketchUp Warehouse? I can already tell you that the models you found in the SketchUp Warehouse are causing the problems. A few examples: the paintings on the walls, the poker table, the bar table and stools. All these models have problems with the orientation of the textured faces (sides). SH3D (or the Sunflow render engine) can't decide which face to use, and messes things up. The only way to solve this is to use SketchUp to correct this problem. Load every model, correct the orientation of faces and export it again as a DAE model. There is a SketchUp plug-in called FrontFace that should make this easier. When importing your models in SH3D, you should watch carefully that the models display correctly and don't show white faces where a texture should be displayed. Good luck, again! Hans *Q3 = quality settings go from Q0 lowest to Q4 highest EDIT 1&2 The model called "receiver" stops the rendering, and so does the "wall mount tv". Delete them and try again. EDIT 3 If you can make a successful render, you may notice that the lower half of the image is black. This is caused by the shadow from the wall. Draw a floor and ceiling and put in some light to avoid this, or change your location/time/date settings. EDIT 4 While checking your models, I found that you should also delete "tower" and "speakers wood". These are models that cause problems and prevent SH3D from making a complete render. The remaining models render,although when I tried to render everything at the same time, I got a red cross, most probably because SH3D runs out of memory. ---------------------------------------- Hans new website - under constuction hansdirkse.info |
