Keep in mind that all the lights generated during the rendering are still unable to go through transparent panes because of limitations in SunFlow. It's so good that I'm surprised you didn't replace the normal rendering method and release it as 'Sweet Home 3D version 4'! Thank you for this great plugin it makes Sweet Home 3D complete.
SWEET HOME 3D TOTAL AREA PLUGIN DIRECTIONS PLUS
Plus (this is an easier request) could you add a button to the Advanced photo window so a user can select either Landscape or Portrait for the rendered view? At the moment the only way is to switch off 'Apply proportions' and type in the portrait resolution information. Is there any way to make large size lights (like a lighting softbox) so soft shadows can be generated? At the moment all shadows apart from the 'ceiling light' produce hard edge shadows (they still look great though compared to the normal in built lighting!)Īlso would you be able add an ambient lighting adjustment? I have a request, would it be possible to give the lights a surface to make them visible in the '3D view' for easier positioning, I have carried out some tests and the candle lights (some of the only built in lights that work well) can be positioned then once in place can have their properties changed so the model is hidden, even when hidden this way it still produces a light source in the final advanced photo render. I can't believe you've not have loads of replies about your new rendering plugin, it is incredible!! Maybe most people haven't noticed it yet? I'm new to Sweet Home 3D but for my first model I built a 2 floor building and this plug in has produced some fantastic lighting results!
