Re: Sweet Home 3D 2.4
Emmanuel:

Maybe I'm too quick with this post of my test with v2.4.



From left to right:
- The standard render in the 3D pane
- The "old" photo render
- The new Phong render (all 3 plug-ins have this problem)

The gentlemen are zip-files from the Google Sketchup library in the Collada file format.

Nevertheless, you've done a terrific job once again!

Hi Emmanuel and Hans,

I just discovered a different type of rendering bug with shiny parts on some Google Sketchup models.

Here's how the models appear in the 3D quick view.


This is the inbuilt photo render.


Advanced photo render


Uber photo render.


Apart from no colours Uber came the closest rendering the helmet but that could simply be because there are no colours?

It is a shame all Google Sketchup human figures are very low poly, I don't have time to try this at the moment but I guess the only way around that would be to export them as .obj files, smooth them then import them again? Don't want to cause any problems with the model designers though.

PS: I didn't do a render for Phong, after discovering Phong's limitations with my floor tests I uninstalled and stopped using it.
