People get mirror blank hair on "photos"
When rendering photos at best quality, people models get mirror blank hair. Is there anything I can do about it?

Make the people matt. This should solve the issue.

Re: People get mirror blank hair on "photos"
Thank you for your reply! However, I have already tried that with no luck. Their hair is still made or mirrorwood. :)

This is by no means a dealbreaker. I am just positioning the people to get a feeling of the space. And if rendering with quality 3, their hair is normal but instead everything turns pixly:

This is my mancave by the way. Very useful being able to position the furniture without having to move them around fysically. Guess that's what Sweet Home 3D is all about, and that is indeed the reason for me trying it out. :)

Re: People get mirror blank hair on "photos"
To make it less "pixly", create an image twice larger and once rendered, reduce its size with an image processing program.
To generate nicer images, you may also define the two properties
com.eteks.sweethome3d.j3d.PhotoRenderer.lowQuality.antiAliasing.min and
com.eteks.sweethome3d.j3d.PhotoRenderer.lowQuality.antiAliasing.max
with higher values (see also this file). If you run Sweet Home 3D under Windows, that could be done by placing a text file named SweetHome3D.l4j.ini in program installation folder with the following content:

-Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.j3d.PhotoRenderer.lowQuality.antiAliasing.min=1
-Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.j3d.PhotoRenderer.lowQuality.antiAliasing.max=2

Hope you can do it smile

Re: People get mirror blank hair on "photos"
That would be nice to try. Where should I put this file in Ubuntu?

johan@johan-x1:~$ apt-cache policy sweethome3d
sweethome3d:
  Installed: 4.4+dfsg-1
  Candidate: 4.4+dfsg-1
  Version table:
 *** 4.4+dfsg-1 0
        500 http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ utopic/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Under Linux add the two -D options separated by spaces after "java" in the SweetHom3D command given in Download version (don't know if it can apply to the one you installed too)
