Sweet Home 3D Portable Greetings! I'm one of the developers at PortableApps.com. At PortableApps.com, we've been developing a portable version of Sweet Home 3D for running from USB disks on Windows. It's ready for release now, having gone through testing for quite a while, but we need to sort out some things with you about branding. The current test version is available at http://portableapps.com/node/19377. Along with Sweet Home 3D Portable, there are also plugin installers for the Advanced Rendering Plug-in, db4tech's lights, and the Contributions, Kator Legaz and Scopia 3D models. (db4tech was helpful in suggesting these to do.) If there are any other packages which should be made available as plug-ins, please tell me and I can create them. That way useful resources can be easily installed into Sweet Home 3D Portable. Now to the issues: First of all, there's the Sweet Home 3D registered trademark. I must confess that I didn't notice it when I first made the portable version, otherwise I would have got permission from you before publishing it. To distribute Sweet Home 3D Portable, we need permission to use the registered trademark. Secondly there's the matter of image branding. Almost all of our portable apps have a PortableApps.com splash screen, indicating that they're portable (and also because startup from USB disks is often slow); because Sweet Home 3D already has a splash screen of its own, we can integrate some features of our own onto it and use one splash screen which still announces that it's a portable version. We've done this in a few other cases, such as with OpenOffice.org and Celestia. We've made a draft Sweet Home 3D Portable splash screen, based on the main Sweet Home 3D splash screen: ![]() We can make any changes you reckon are needed to it. One thing which we would like to do is change the bar at the bottom from reading "PortableApps.com/SweetHome3DPortable" to "PortableApps.com & SweetHome3D.com", if you wish to host Sweet Home 3D Portable from your SourceForge project as an official Sweet Home 3D build. If you have any questions or comments, please tell me and I'll answer them. Thanks for Sweet Home 3D, Chris Morgan |
