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

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?

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.

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
