Re: Photo-video rendering plug-in
Hi enkonyito. Hopefully you will be able to help me. I am struggling to use the no.3 light source with 1.5 plug in. If i rotate it on x axis 90 degrees i get this :-
Good illumination but bad appearance
If i rotate it on x axis 270 degrees i get this :-
No illumination but good appearance
And if i use the icon from the tool bar
very good illumination but poor appearance
and i have no idea what is illuminating the outer frame of the garage door.
The other thing i have noticed is that if you resize or rotate the sources they appear normal in the plan, but, if you then copy / paste them they appear vertical again. If you'll pardon the pun, i hope you can shed some light on my issues, I am sure i am missing something. Mike

Hi Mike,
For the next version of the plug-in, there will be an update of the light source libraries with more explicit names.
Regarding the light panels, one side emits light and they do not work with the standard photo panel. The other side is invisible. - 90 degree rotation on the X axis: emitting face up - 270 degrees rotation on the X axis: emitting face down For the non-opaque light panel, the diagonal of the emitting face serves as a reference.
and i have no idea what is illuminating the outer frame of the garage door.

Re: Photo-video rendering plug-in
PhotoVideoRendering-1.6 plug-in - compatibility with Sweet Home 3D 6.0 and higher - management of new light sources - use of a light panel as room ceiling light - added Speed and Frame Rate fields in the video panel - possibility to choose the type of path in the video panel
OtherLightTypes-1.1 libraries compatible only with this plug-in - PointLight_type: 1 light point with modifiable color - SphereLight_type: 3 light spheres with modifiable color - TrianglemeshLight_type: 3 light panels including 2 with modifiable color Available in the Light sources category.

Can not change the color of lights.
None problem for me.
Automatic and color work fine ! .

Re: Photo-video rendering plug-in
Today I rendered 16 times to test the difference between the different items in "Advanced settings>Quality 4>samplerAlgorithm" option.
I found that "bucket" rendering is the best quality and takes up the least amount of GPU. "Fast" rendering is the fastest quality consuming GPU.
If you want GPU to take up a little more, I think there is only one way. Render with a fast rendered quadruple resolution. Then use software to reduce the screen size by 4 times.
Original image, not rendered
"bucket"-1000X500 Rendering time, 40 minutes
"fast"-4000X2000 Reduce size 1000X500 Rendering time, 26 minutes
The difference is only in the processing of light and shadow. Square rendering is more natural. But the rendering time for fast rendering is 40% less.
So I recommend 1.adding one in the option, 4x supersampling for fast rendering. 2.And render with smaller squares. 3.Support for rendering pauses. 4.And automatically save the file. 5.Allow rendering of 16000X8000 resolution

Re: Photo-video rendering plug-in
Another important thing to forget is to add a "pause" button after the rendering starts. The rendering time is very long and uses 100% CPU. If you encounter individual things at this time, you can't do it.
