Limiting SweetHome 3DViewer?
I'm setting up a webpage for a friend who is building small shacks, RVs and Trailer Homes and wanted a way to display some of his works virtually.

Questions:

1) How do I limit the travel of the Virtual Visitor to just around about 50ft away from the "house"? AS IS, one can just continue walking the virtual visitor to infinity, I would like this to be limited to a set range (a bigger "house" needs a further distance to see it all).

2) This is probably with SH3D and not the SH3D Viewer, but how do I make the home more realistic looking and less cartoony. Of course, this will require some work with objects, textures and shadowings but how it is done to improve the image? Unfortunately this may bring on the cost of newer faster processors to get things going faster with larger files.

Is there a way to add a "Home" button to the viewer that would put the virtual viewer/camera back to where it started when it loads?

I figure that if someone mucking around and gets lost, he can always get back "home" at a press of a button.

You can't limit virtual visitor moves in the viewer, and the viewer shows exactly the same 3D view as in Sweet Home 3D.
To let the user select a "Home" point of view or another one, please use the selectableCameras parameter as explained in the README.TXT file of the viewer.

I'll study up and experiment with the link's information.

Many thanks.
