Re: Photo-video rendering plug-in
While waiting for the next version of Sweet Home 3D, here is the latest beta 1.7 of the plug-in. This allows you to test the ambient lighting panels by activating "Add all ceiling lights" in the standard version of SH3D. To view the location of panels in the plan using polylines, you can use this utility.

Re: Photo-video rendering plug-in
Not sure, well no idea at all really, how much a plug can link with the main software, but, would it be possible to move the choice of having the ambient lighting on, and its slider, away from the render modification window and onto the room modification window. This way each room could be controlled individually, on, off and brightness. Mike

It would be possible as here but it imposes some constraints. Given the size of rooms modification panel, the slider would not be very readable. The addition of such a feature is possible in a derived version but will require an update to each new version of Sweet Home 3D. The plug-in will have to be compatible with these 2 versions (standard and derived).
The easiest way is to make an official request for the ceiling lights power feature to be integrated into the standard version of SH3D. The plug-in will be able to retrieve this information and manage the ambient lighting panels.

Re: Photo-video rendering plug-in
At this point, the plug-in will not evolve any more.
If it's not too much bother, could you please fix it so that the render window is not always on top? Being always on top, it's hiding important pop-ups that need attention. It's probably not a big operation, since it used to behave like a normal window in earlier versions.

The standard photo panel, like the resizable photo panel, does not prevent other windows from appearing above it.
Since the first version of the plug-in, if you try to open another photo panel, the one that is already open is put in front.
if (currentPhotoPanel == null) { new AdvancedPhotoPanel(...); } else { SwingUtilities.getWindowAncestor(currentPhotoPanel).toFront(); }
Since I only use one screen, I did not notice any particular problem. If you use 2 or more screens, what behavior do you get by displaying the resizable photo panel (full screen or not) in a window other than the plan and trying to open another photo panel?
Something must have been changed. It works fine prior to v1.6. I haven't mentioned this earlier, since I reconed it would go back to normal with v 1.7.
I'm on OSX, and it might not work the same way in Windows.
Hope you can fix it and that it's not causing you a lot of trouble:)

Re: Photo-video rendering plug-in
Cecilia,
In view of your video, this is a regression on Mac OS X. However, there has been no change in the behavior of the photo panel. The only difference with previous versions is the compatibility of v1.6 with SH3D-6.0. Do you have the same problem with the standard photo panel?
For now, I think of 2 solutions: 1- use the default behavior of the standard photo panel 2- force the resizable photo panel to not always be on top
Has anyone noticed this bug on Linux?

No.
As I said: If it's not too much bother. – and I really feel bad complaining about this. So don't worry about it. It's just a minor minor minor issue compared to the great great great advantages of using this beautiful plugin. I can easily work my way around this, as I have done for months now.
