Re: Rendering on Windows Server 2008 Possible?
Under Windows, you must replace : separators by ;
About rendering photos at the stored points of view returned by the method getStoredCameras in Home class, you could replace the following two lines in ConsolePhotoGenerator.java:
renderer.render(image, home.getCamera(), null); ImageIO.write(image, homePhoto.substring(homePhoto.lastIndexOf('.') + 1), new File(homePhoto));
by:
for (Camera camera : home.getStoredCameras()) { renderer.render(image, camera, null); int dotIndex = homePhoto.lastIndexOf('.'); String cameraPhoto = homePhoto.substring(0, dotIndex) + "-" + camera.getName().replaceAll("/|\\\\|:|;", "-").replace(File.pathSeparatorChar, '-').replace(File.separatorChar, '-') + homePhoto.substring(dotIndex); ImageIO.write(image, homePhoto.substring(dotIndex + 1), new File(cameraPhoto)); }
and you should import com.eteks.sweethome3d.model.Camera class.

Re: Rendering on Windows Server 2008 Possible?
Hello, in he first place I want to thank You for developing such a nice tool.
I'm also trying to run the render in headless mode with SW3D 6.2 on a linux machine. I have fallowed You guide, but unfortunately I'm getting
No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program performed an operation which requires it. at javax.media.j3d.VirtualUniverse.<clinit>(VirtualUniverse.java:294)
error when trying to run it on a server. I have found Your post on jogamp about editing VirtualUniverse.java class, but I'm afraid it's to difficult for me. Are You able to provide modified version of j3dcore.jar just to make it more available to use it by broader group of people?

Re: Rendering on Windows Server 2008 Possible?
Are you sure you added the -Dj3d.rend=noop option, as explained in my post of February 3rd, 2017?

This allowed me to run sh3d render with the -Dj3d.rend=noop option. Unfortunately it's only working for the AO + Photon Mapping, when trying to render with Path option I'm getting a lot of warnings and in the end the output image is just black.
I would also like to use a option from PVR 1.9 to enable sky light but I don't have an idea how I can use the plugin in headless mode. Is there any way to do it?

Re: Rendering on Windows Server 2008 Possible?
You shouldn’t have to recompile Java 3D jars if you use the ones available here (actually, I just discovered that the links in my post of February 2017 have been out of date, since SourceForge.net forced me to move from CVS to SVN, but I just updated them).
I never tried to render an image with a plugin on a server but don’t see a reason why it couldn’t run. Did you try to render your image with the GUI first? And did you try with Sweet Home 3D 6.2 Jar?

Re: Rendering on Windows Server 2008 Possible?
Greetings. I'd like to present a wish list, ordered by importance:
incremental output image name in case of homonymy to avoid overwriting existing images, and/or automatic output folder creation for each rendered .sh3d file;
rendering queue composed of a list of .sh3d files;
ability to use rendering engines other than the default Sunflow, and to change the engine;
ability to change rendering settings, including time of the day, lens type, and ceiling lights.
