Re: Photo-video rendering 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.
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.

Emmanuel, Hans, thank you very much!

Here is a SH3D demo file for using the plug-in with new light sources and image-based lighting (sky with texture).
