TV screen emitting light.

[bertrand125]

I wonder if it is possible to create a TV screen emitting light and displaying a picture. Or a stove emitting light from the glass and displaying a texture of a fire.

I have read the SVG mini guide, and it says we must define a diameter for a light source, but I wonder if:
- it is possible to define a rectangular surface as a light source ?
- make a light that doesn't blind when we look at it ?

By the same way, I also thought to make the rectangular glass of a window emit light without blinding, in order to simulate the natural light.

If it is not possible with the actual version of SweetHome 3D, I wonder if it could be possible in a future version ?

Use Enko Nyito's PVR- 1.5 and light panel - rectangle light source,visible or not (info and download ). Quick test - two panels as close to tv screen as possible, one illuminates room with bluish light (power 7%), the other one is rotated 180 degrees to make screen bright (white, light power 10%).

Very nice and easy solution, but what about a semi transparent TV screen and only one light panel behind the screen?
It's only an idea and I don't know how it works and have not the time to test right now...

alaX, thanks for your reply and the example file. This solution is great.
