Re: Other rendering quality levels
Thank Enkonyito a lot, this plug-in helped me solve my question: "how to put shininess on furniture without reflecting the lights". Now I can set "shiny" on object such as TV screen without lights on it. We can look at the TV screen and the wall behind to see the effect. Here is my image:

In case of problems with previous links (unavailability of sourceforge), use the one attached.

Re: Other rendering quality levels (Advanced settings of photo rendering plug-in)
Here is additional information on the interactions between parameters:
- For globalIllumination = default, no difference in rendering for diffusedBounces > 1 - For antiAliasing.max = 0 and samplerAlgorithm = multipass, anti-aliasing - For antiAliasing.max >= 1 and samplerAlgorithm = multipass, identical anti-aliasing regardless of the value of antiAliasing.max - For antiAliasing.max >= 1 and samplerAlgorithm = ipr or fast, no anti-aliasing - For filter = box, no anti-aliasing regardless of the value of antiAliasing.max - For samplerAlgorithm = fast, ipr or multipass, same filter effect regardless of the chosen type
To avoid confusion, safeguards will be put.
According to the BucketRenderer.java file, antiAliasing.max is limited to 5.

Re: Other rendering quality levels (Advanced settings of photo rendering plug-in)
Disinterring this thread because i'm not finding the answers to a simple question: what do all the parameters mean both in definition and in application?
Can you provide the ranges for the values in each field and some examples of their effects?
I've done some reading in wikipedia (there are some dead-end links in this and other threads here), and gotten an idea of the theory, but i'm still not grasping how values used by this plugin will affect a rendering.
For example, i know what anti-aliasing is and i learned what photon mapping is and the definition of caustics, but what values do i put in the fields of this plugin? Is the 'caustics' value a Boolean, does it need a range between 0 and 1, are the effects linear or exponential (or something else)?
More examples and correct ranges would be very helpful. I would also like to know these parameters' effects on rendering times.

This old plug-in, although functional is no longer maintained, allows to modify the parameters of the Sunflow rendering engine directly in Sweet Home 3D from the PhotoRenderer.properties file. For more information, you will find here the document "Configure the SunFlow rendering engine" detailing the definitions of each parameter. (String or numeric values are editable from the arrows)

Re: Other rendering quality levels (Advanced settings of photo rendering plug-in)
Thanks - i was able to view the PhotoRenderer properties file and that answered the questions well enough. I was able to come up with better renders thanks to the explanations.
I will also take a look at the PDF you pointed to...

Re: Other rendering quality levels (Advanced settings of photo rendering plug-in)
At the risk of a major "thread necro", I've got to say: what an awesome plugin! Just found it and installed it this evening and had a bit of a play - primarily to get access to the global illumination options - and I'm absolutely rapt! Many thanks enkonyito.
