Furnitures turn out white colour after selected or imported in the library - HELP Hi Sweet Home, I found out about this software 4 days ago and I like it so much. I started learning how to use it day by day. My concern for now is that whenever I select or import a piece of furnitures from outsources, the original colour turns out white. Some feedbacks to solve this issue would be thankful. |

Re: Furnitures turn out white colour after selected or imported in the library - HELP You probably tried to import 3D models that don't define colors. You should try to load models from the web sites that have more stars in the given list on this site. ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |

Re: Furnitures turn out white colour after selected or imported in the library - HELP I did, those are the website where I selected the furniture. Even some pieces of furniture listed on the sweet home online website still turned out white colour, not all but 80%. I even tried to update all plug-ins and double check but it still the same pro. Thx for ur feedback. |

Re: Furnitures turn out white colour after selected or imported in the library - HELP Anne, I have noticed this behaviour too, especially when trying to import 3ds models. Probably there are several "dialects" in the "3ds language", some of which aren't correctly translated when importing the model into SH3D. There may be a solution for your problem: import these 3ds models into Blender, then from Blender export them in OBJ format. You may have to experiment a bit with the export settings: there are quite a few options, and I'm not a Blender specialist.

Re: Furnitures turn out white colour after selected or imported in the library - HELP Hi Hans, Thx for your reply. I played around how to import 3Ds pieces in the Blender ( I never use Blender before ) as you recommend and I was unsuccessful on how to use it properly. Can you explain more detail on how to do this. I import a piece of furnitures in sweet home ptogram. Some turn all white or all grey but some still have colours but the colours are different from the original. After trying different ways, I came up that if this happened with that pieces. then I have to ignore using it and find others. |

Re: Furnitures turn out white colour after selected or imported in the library - HELP Anne, Scroll down on the Blender homepage and you will see links to manual and tutorial. A good source for models is the Google Sketchup Warehouse. Models in the DAE/Collada format can be directly imported into SH3D. Other models can be loaded in Sketchup and then exported as a DAE file.

Re: Furnitures turn out white colour after selected or imported in the library - HELP Thx Hans, It worked when I put the furniture through sketchup, then used it in SH3D. Another issue came up when I tried to record a video. The CREATE button for creating a VIDEO did not work. To say in another way, it is just an image but not the button that I can press on. The CREATE button for taking a PICTURE worked fine but not the VIDEO. Please help me with this! Thank you and Happy NeÆ° Year 2011. |

Re: Furnitures turn out white colour after selected or imported in the library - HELP Hi Emmanuel, I took photos of my case here. Please have a look at them. The CREATE button doesn't appear to be used here. http://www.2shared.com/photo/bNVM3OOn/DSC_0073.html http://www.2shared.com/photo/pyO4el9W/DSC_0074.html Thanks. Anne |

Re: Furnitures turn out white colour after selected or imported in the library - HELP Hi Emmanuel again, I have tried to install SH3D and all plug-ins on 2 computers and happened the same in my case. I took time to go over the instructions provided in SH3D website and forums but nothing is similar to my case. Please help me with this. Many thanks, Anne |

Re: Furnitures turn out white colour after selected or imported in the library - HELPYou don't need any plug-in to create videos. May I insist: please read the instructions in the user's guide and in the help. From your screenshots, I'm sure you even didn't try to reproduce the instructions.  ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |

Re: Furnitures turn out white colour after selected or imported in the library - HELP Hi, I just read the user guides again. And from my understand to this, once you click on the VIDEO button, a box appear and you first click on the CREATE button and then click on the RED button and then move the 3D VIEW. But my problem here is when the video box appear, I can't click on the CREATE button  . I tried the taking PHOTO function and the CREATE button just work fine. I'm new new to this. I like the program and I just want to find a way to solve this.  Regards, Anne |

Re: Furnitures turn out white colour after selected or imported in the library - HELP The user's guide says: To create a video, choose in the 3D view the initial location of the video camera and click on the red button in the video creation pane. Then move in the 3D view to the next location of the video camera and click again on the red button. Repeat these steps for each location where the camera should pass by during the video. Each time you click on the red button, a new point is added in the video creation pane to show you the path of the camera. As Sweet Home 3D takes also into account the vertical elevation of the camera, its 2 rotation angles and its field of view, you may create all kind of animations. Once the path you created is satisfying, click on the Create button to start the computing of the video frames, then once this computing is finished, click on the Save... button to save the video in a Quicktime file. How can you conclude from this text that you should click first on the Create button then on the red button??? ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |

Re: Furnitures turn out white colour after selected or imported in the library - HELP Hi, Creating 3D videos Click on the Create video ... tool to display the pane used to create a video from a virtual path in the 3D view. As figure 23 shows, this pane lets you choose the format of the video and its quality in a similar way as in the photo creation pane. To create a video, choose in the 3D view the initial location of the video camera and click on the red button in the video creation pane. Then move in the 3D view to the next location of the video camera and click again on the red button. Repeat these steps for each location where the camera should pass by during the video.... I appologize for my misunderstanding, I thought that the first path with the words "create video" suppose to mean that click on Create.You are correct. Regards, Anne create video |

Re: Furnitures turn out white colour after selected or imported in the library - HELP Ok I understand the misunderstanding now. Too much Create buttons on the screen!  I hope you'll succeed to generate nice videos... ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |
