thanks again!

I had seen some of the threads before. I've now read all threads, did not understand everything but it seems to me that it's not possible to do transparent frosted glass in sh3d.

Hans, the docs were helpful and now I can get transparent glass instead of a solid texture but I want something in between [:)]

I think there might be an answer in PhotoRenderer.java but I'm still to find it..

Thank you Hans!

I exported the sketchup model to obj using TIGs OBJExporter script .

The default material definition was:
newmtl Translucent_Glass_White15
Ka 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
Kd 0.996078 0.996078 0.976471
Ks 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
d 0.750000

I've created a simple model of a lamp with translucent white glass using Sketchup. The lamp is cylinder shaped with an open top. The model was then exported to .dae and imported to SH3D 3.1.

When I place a light source within the lamp the light and render a photo (at ...

Thanks, it was a simple as that! BTW are there key modifiers for changing elevation and rotating objects with the cursor keys?

I'm trying to place a lamp in the window sill but it won't work. Is it possible?

The window is a standard sh3d window. The white colored glass lamp is something I put together in Sketchup (haven't figured out how to add the actual light source though..).

Thanks, setting a summer day removed the color cast!

The red color of the door however gets too bright, so an option for adding some clouds would be great to get softer light :-)

I'll play around with custom light sources to see ...

First I'd like to thank Emmanuel for this amazing piece of software and all modelers out there that are sharing their work!

When creating photos the yellowish color. The screenshoot below shows the 3d view and the result after rendering the view at highest quality:
