Details about rendering engine
Can somebody tell me where to find details about rendering in sweet home 3D? It is for educational purposes and I need deeper explanation of how it works.
As far as I understood, Sunflow is used for level 3 and level 4 quality. What about level 1 and 2?
Which parameters are passed to Sunflow in level 3 and 4 and which shaders are used?

Re: Details about rendering engine
Hi nasevz
You can find all your answers in PhotoRenderer.java[1]; specially the constructor


public PhotoRenderer(Home, Object3DFactory, Quality)

and


public void render(BufferedImage, Camera, ImageObserver)

As for levels 1 and 2, you can start by PhotoPanel.java[2], specially


private void computePhoto(Home home)
