Re: Sweet Home 3D 4.4
Seems to work but my model is still to big.
Even I get the following message The home data length (3.3 MB) is larger than the maximum length accepted by the server (3 MB). Delete some furniture and/or background images to reduce the length of saved data.
the model will be loaded but can't be stored. Anyway, it is pretty cool that a 16.8 MB model can be reduced to 3.3 MB!

Re: Sweet Home 3D 4.4
Thank you both for your feedback. The 6th button displays the icon and is available only if you login.
I improved the logic of files checking/saving in the Beta 13 of the Online version, and the furniture list will display imported furniture in italic in the online version, to help you find these objects when the home data size is too large. Showing a file size indicator could be nice too, but let's see first how the import feature is used…
it is pretty cool that a 16.8 MB model can be reduced to 3.3 MB!
It's not really reduced. In the online version, the data of a home comes from: - the drawing coordinates of furniture, walls, rooms..., - the furniture and images imported by the user, - and the redistributable 3D models and texture images available on sweethome3d.com server (through free 3D models page for example). The difficulty was to try to find as much as possible uses of redistributable 3D models and texture images without downloading everything, to reduce the size of the remaining data in a home. A smaller size ensures that saving (i.e. upload to the server) time will be reasonable for the end user, that bandwidth use won't increase too much on the server and that home data won't occupy too much space on the server too. For the programmers interested in the subject, I added SHA-1 digests of 3D model and image files in the online libraries and compare them with the digest of each model and image used in a home file at importation time. If two digests are equal, then the model or the image in the file can be replaced by a reference to the same file on the server (see resolveObject method in HomeObjectInputStream and the new class ContentDigestManager). So, if you followed everything, 3.3 MB is the size of (compressed) data that couldn't be found on sweethome3d.com server.
Maybe a FTP support will be an option?
What do you mean?

Re: Sweet Home 3D 4.4
So you mean that Ni shouldn't be used directly,
Sorry it is a miss understand!, I mean that Ni shouldn't be derived correctly(Script Error & it is the bug). [Sorry once again for any spelling mistake or grammar mistake]. {I usually do open sh3d src.zip in eclipse & edit then export edited.java file as -java-jar file. Then using 7zip replaces proper class files in SweetHome3D.jar and start test rendering.}
In this script line I understand that
TransparencyAttributes transparencyAttributes = appearance.getTransparencyAttributes(); if (transparencyAttributes != null && transparencyAttributes.getTransparency() > 0 && !ignoreTransparency) { if (material instanceof OBJMaterial && ((OBJMaterial)material).isOpticalDensitySet()) { this.sunflow.parameter("eta", ((OBJMaterial)material).getOpticalDensity()); } else { // Use glass ETA as default this.sunflow.parameter("eta", 1.55f); } float transparency = 1 - transparencyAttributes.getTransparency();
photorender calls a value (Ni)as optical_density from objmaterial(*.mtl) and assigned to ETA and give it to sunflow for rendering. But I want to tell you that it fails to find the value from mtl file comes with .obj. Because assigned a value 2.5f as ETA for the 'if' condition if what ever the value of Ni. Then Render & the glass object render with optical density 2.5f. If I changed the glass material color/Texture it renders in optical density 1.55f. So I come to the conclusion that : optical density calling from (its default) *.mtl file or assign the value for eta failed. So sunflow render a black dot instead. I doubt that because of script error(spelling mistake /failed to maintain Ni value limitation in between 0.001-min to 10-max). !_________________________________________________ I am not propose 2.5f as eta.But the above image values are get from sunflow sample render secene file(glass01.sc) opened in notepad & rendered in sunflow gui. 2.5f takes 20% to 40% more time for rendering than 1.55f but give more realistic glass reflection. __________________________________________________ I found an invisible bug that when I import a furniture(most time *.3ds) & save it, then it produces a *.shed file consist of imported furniture as *.obj&*.mtl. But the bug is that when I export the imported furniture as *.obj then the file(*.obj&*.mtl) is totally different from than the saved file(the content of file/the method by which is used to export). This will not seen in geometry creation, but affect in glass type objects that have a curvy vine glass shape. Each time Import then export then again import & export each type of obj files are created & after some exports later the material glass loose its Ni value. I think the bug lies in OBJ exporter because If I import Obj files It saves same file but export then file creation method chagned & create a different file is being created, with no Ni parameter in mlt file some times. So please remove current Obj exporter(creation method) & use furniture library creator's/save as sh3d file's Obj saving algorithm instead

Re: Sweet Home 3D 4.4
Hello, Emmanuel Sir. I think you are planing to release v4.4 soon, before that could you please add one more feature that apply easy Basic Material Shader Preset like glass, metal, leather and concrete names in modify->material modify-> furniture material panel. (It effects like glass=transparency, metal= mirror reflection, leather =mate like carpet, concrete = rough floor). My concept is that 'change material without changing its color and texture,' but only edit its rendering shader type(glass, mirror, phong, ward) module in sunflow. It will be a helpful thing when some material failed to render properly. These shaders are predefined(ie values for Ks,Ns,Ni,illum,d,eta) so the user can simply apply material. If you are going to tell me that why I don't think about shininess, then it doesn't have ability to set glass transparency, metal and mirror reflection need black color.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 4.4
Tonight the Beta 16 brings most translations of the new features, and improves the repair system added in the Beta 2: now, Sweet Home 3D will be also able to restore 3D models and images found in Sweet Home 3D catalogs of the user when it tries to repair a damaged file. This system works thanks to a small new entry named ContentDigests added after the entry named Home. The text of ContentDigests describes the digests of 3D models and images in the file that helps to find the matching content in the catalogs. As this entry didn't exist until now, this improvement in the repair system will benefit only to files saved with version 4.4. You can try it on the following two files (saved them as a .sh3d file): Damaged home without ContentDigests entry Damaged home with ContentDigests entry The second file should be fully reparable with the default catalog of Sweet Home 3D.
sree.arun.kr, sorry I don't think I'll add any additional feature to version 4.4. It's time to release it...

Re: Sweet Home 3D 4.4
okh: 3D window did not update changes made in 2d (happned twice: move door / change level), but could not reproduce.
hansmex: Same here. Happens every now and then. Not clear why.
I checked again if I would have missed some updates in the 3D view, but did not discover anything. If you couldn't reproduce the issue, could you tell me if it happened more than once, and if you feel that this issue never happened in a previous version.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 4.4
..if it happened more than once...
Actually, I think something similar happened also in an earlier version, and that I reported it, but I cannot find the bug ticket (too hot outside...). However, it happened only those two times now - and not again. However, I am wondering whether there could be something Java related (1.7.0_55 / 32 bit), because some Java processes (also other sw) suddenly have hiccups. Eg. SH3D furniture import will sometimes halt everything for up to 20 seconds, and Collada export in Sketchup also seems to cause the occasional temporary freeze (and on an unrelated subject, so does my Java addicted bank). But no, it did not happen again (so just go ahead and release :-) ).

Re: Sweet Home 3D 4.4
Missing 3D resources might be a reason for this kind of bug.
so just go ahead and release :-)
I wish I could, but I still have to check the Ni issue that sree.arun.kr reported, and a few translations are still missing. Are there Chinese (writing Simplified Chinese), Czech or Brazilian users around willing to contribute to translations?

Re: Sweet Home 3D 4.4
I wish I could, but I still have to...
Know that your sense of perfection is what makes SH3D such a great piece of software. My old prof always said that it is impossible to test all possible data with every routine - and something will go wrong - somewhere, somehow. But as betas go - and I've tested a few - this is pretty solid . Thanks. ok
and is available only if you login.
. Thanks. ok
