Hans, Hawk,

Version 1.2 of the plug-in incorporates some additional information like an illustration quality levels and a small parameters definition.

Hans:

Am I correct in thinking that this plug-in has effect only when making a render in Q4?

Hawk:

I believe it works in Q3 and Q4.

It is used as a SweetHome3D.l4j.ini file, a Linux launch script or Jar command lines to change the photo renderer properties at the two best quality levels (Low/Q3 and High/Q4).

Hans:

Unfortunately, I can't figure out how it works.

I should perhaps make a tutorial like plug-ins and extensions User Guide .

Regarding global illumination "path" , a sky with texture can give a rendering dark, powerful lights can give a dazzling rendering.
