100% CPU usage is "normal" on any renderer, if your worried grab something like Core Temp and monitor the cpu's temp, mine usually runs at 55 across 8 threads (i7) rendering a 2gb scene

Yes I know sorry, what I was trying to say was can we do custom lights in SH3D, I saw a thread about importing lights as 3DS but the links were dead

Can you name a mesh as a light source? in the light units I have a simple planes as emitters, actually in the render it has the planes on the outside hidden and the lights inside are a fake emitters to give the glow

I thought Kerkythea as the SDK is available and a free renderer
Maybe its not really needed but I like a challenge

Meshes and a material editor was the aim

It renders ok, I was having some issues with faces flipping on a full render I found if I just added meshes rather than duplicating the sections fixed that problem
I need to figure out a better way of doing the lights

I was wondering was there an exporter script for Sunflow? I was toying on the idea for a exporter to Kerkthea

<r>if you want to import your scene/object into Sketchup there a importer here:<br/>

Can we post Sweet Home 3D scenes textured/rendered in other software or does it have to be using the internal renderer?

I had something similar earlier tonight and it was the room defined twice, no idea how it happened
