Re: Sweet Home 3D 6.0
@Hans Does this issue appear with both video card drivers, the one offered by Ubuntu (Open Source) and the one offered by Nvidia (proprietarily)? I ask this question because I am not able to reproduce this issue on my Ubuntu 18.04.

OMG! I'm so sorry! Who can read is in the advantage... I have to stop doing multiple things at the same time...

The portable version will be released a little later once I'll gather more translations.
Thanks all for your tests, your feedback, your support and... your patience.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 6.0
While making a few renders for another thread, I noticed that after finishing the rendering, SH3D keeps using all 6 cores of my processor at (close to) 100%, just as it does while rendering.
This heavy usage only stopped when I shut down SH3D.
I also noticed that when applying a transparent texture to vertical blinds, the blinds are shown as completely black in the 3D preview window. Is this a regression? We also had this in some earlier version.
(beta 6.11 under Ubuntu 18.04)
EDIT Meanwhile I installed version 6. - Processor stops at end of rendering. (same file & settings as before) - Transparency still shown as black.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 6.0
In SH3D 6.0 the GPU load for the 3D view (only virtual visitor) is reeeeally high, strange high. In fact it's higher than in any other application, even higher than in complex 3D games or benchmark tests. It's much higher than in 5.7 or any older versions. This is not a big issue, because the max temperature of the polaris chip is approximately 90° C and atm the actual temperature is at 55°, but it's a noisy (because of the fan) one... Normally the temperature of the GPU is not higher than 40°.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 6.0
Hi,
I'm agree with hans and Ubuntu about 3D renderings.
With the final 6.0, I find that a 3D rendering is too important for the main processor and not for the GPU.
Here are the results on my PC :
Tested with Core i7-4790 - RAM 16Go - GC : GeForce 970 GTX 4 Go CG is 4 years old, is this the weakest link ???
@Puybaret : what can you do to ameliorate this point ? .

Re: Sweet Home 3D 6.0
The problem on my system does not occur while rendering, only in the 3D view in virtual visitors mode while "walking around".
