Re: Photo-video rendering plug-in
This plugin is perfect! I love the different rendering options and the new save function. Rendering parts of an image, saves a lot of rendering time when you want to correct something. Now I just have to learn what all the new parameters are doing, and how to use them.
Excellent work! Thank you!

Thank you Xiste! Nice to see you like this plug-in.
I started working on its new interface for adding the rendering engine selector. There will no longer be the ambient lighting slider or the display of the estimated remaining time that is not very reliable. The Enhance external brightness checkbox will be renamed Enable sky lighting. The Advanced settings button would access the properties of the selected rendering engine.
Who says two rendering engines, says twice as many parameters to assimilate and surely to detail.

Re: Photo-video rendering plug-in
If I use the simple photo rendering V1.8 with enhanced external brightness - it slow down so much, that even a 240x123 px picture doesn't show anything (no estimated time, no draft view) after 10 minutes.

Any hints?
Difficult to answer in detail without more information. Enhanced external brightness takes a lot of time with a sky texture, a great image resolution, at night. The global illumination used also has an influence. I advise you to perform a test without it being enabled to see the rendering time and have a comparison.

All objects in ChristmasLights.sh3d have been matted to avoid differences in shininess between the renderers.
For the moment, the YafaRay rendering engine is not compatible with these light panels.

I'm using your panel lights all over the place, so I guess I shall just have to be patient.

Please don't ditch this. It's not entirely reliable, but it's in fact fairly close to accurate under the right circumstanses. It predicted 79 hours for rendering this image, and it took 72.

I hope that Emmanuel Puybaret will take into account my request concerning an xml example file using light panels, opaque light spheres and caustic photons because the documentation of YafaRay does not detail it which complicates their implementation.

Keeping the display of the estimated remaining time, it will surely be necessary to modify the size of the photo panel so that it is not too large on a standard screen.

What is a standard screen? 1080p?
A medium-sized screen.
Finally, the height of the photo panel is acceptable while keeping the display of the estimated remaining time. ;-)

Re: Photo-video rendering plug-in
Congratulations EnkoNyito!
If possible, I would suggest that you post a SH3D demo file in Ticket #18 that will show most of your settings (maybe with some explaining texts in the plan when necessary). The documents you wrote are certainly appreciated, but demos can help to show quickly how it works.
