Timelapse video from same POV (need to see only sun shadow changing)
Hello everyone. I'm new to Sweet Home 3D.

I've created a house and want to create a video that shows how shadow is cast during a specific day.

I want the POV to be fixed and there should be a starting and ending date-time range.

Instead of rendering all those images manually one by one, is there any way to create the video more easily ?

Once you chose the point of view you want,
- open the video creation tool,
- select one of the two best quality levels,
- choose the start time,
- click on the round red button,
- choose the end time,
- click on the round red button,
- finally click on the Create button and let Sweet Home 3D compute your video...

Double click on the compass or select Plan > Modify compass menu item.
