rose   Can I customize the render settings
Sir,I wish to customize the default render preset quality settings, the properties like anti-aliasing,texture filtering,caustic shadow.
Because this image takes 2 minute to render in 3rd quality render setting
http://s21.postimg.org/jnkz2tetj/002.jpg
But its shadow biasing is not good.
And this image taken 48 minute to render in 4th(Best) quality render
http://s13.postimg.org/se2d8qepz/003.jpg
If I can control over it then it is possible to adjust lights,texture resolution,objects snapping...
So Is it possible to inject a new code or edit any current code table?.
Thx in advance.
& Thanks SWEET Home 3D team for the new version

Re: Can I customize the render settings
That sounds strange. Even my totally non-graphically minded machine works faster. A lot faster. Could there be another issue?

ok

Please read this thread and this one. It won't let you change all the parameters you wish but it's a nice start.

Re: Can I customize the render settings
Emmanuel,

Would it be possible to create a Q5 for better rendering, or use Q4 for this?
I tried several times to make a "bat"-file to have better results, but I don't succeed in getting it to work.

If that's not possible, could someone make a small file that I can use, without me having to program anything?

rose   Re: Can I customize the render settings
Hans download this file which has default settings
http://www.mediafire.com/?9vmlx54x3zv90nh
Then copy, paste to the location "C:\Program Files\Sweet Home 3D\SweetHome3D.exe" or the location where the "SweetHome3D.exe" located.
&
Here is the description for the commands
http://www.mediafire.com/?1hbx7495ki2iu7y

Edit the values or delete the lines if you want to customize.
Then save SweetHome3D.l4j.ini & start application "SweetHome3D.exe"

Improper or null value makes application crash then delete SweetHome3D.l4j.ini from the directory

To see Available Graphics memory Go to Win > Start > Run (or press Win-key+R),then type "DxDiag" & click display tab > Total memory=
Memory Values must be a multiple of 32.

Here is the file I uses to Exterior rendering

Sorry for my bad .English.

Re: Can I customize the render settings
Sree,

Thanks for the information.

I use a PC with Ubuntu (Linux), not Windows. As far as I can see, there are no *.ini files on my computer, and I really don't know what to do with those files.

I start SH3D by double-clicking a file called SweetHome3D (881 bytes).

I have tried to modify that file, but without succes.

Re: Can I customize the render settings
Hans, it's really not complicated: simply add the -D... parameters one by one after
exec "$PROGRAM_DIR"/jre1.6.0_45/bin/java
in the SweetHome3D command file separating them with a space. Don't add line returns.

Re: Can I customize the render settings
Emmanuel,

I finally got it to work. I tried a few months ago, but I must have done something wrong.

The "Optimized settings" work OK under Q3 and Q4.
The "Default" settings work OK under Q3 and Q4.
When I insert the settings given as "High settings", it works OK under Q3, but under Q4 I get immediately a black picture. No calculation done. (Same file, same everything)

Best results always were obtained with Q3. Q4 consistently gives a lot of "speckling". (The infamous white artefacts)
My test renders were 1200x900 pixels, and the slowest finished in about 3 minutes on my quad core computer.
Seen (1) the rather large quality improvement and (2) the fact that increasingly people will use faster computers, maybe it is time to re-think the quality settings.

My suggestion would be something like this:
Q1 = current Q1 or Q2
Q2 = current Q3 or something similar
Q3 = "default" or "optimized" settings mentioned above (or something similar)
Q4 = Super high quality settings, lots of mirroring, ray tracing, bouncing, or whatever other settings you can think of, for a maximum result.

The tool tips for these settings could explain that Q1 is for older, slower computers, Q2 is for a better quality image, maybe duo core, Q3 is high quality, preferably quad core, etc.

This way you offer a greater flexibility without the need for lots of programming.

Hans
