Photo creation problem

[frevandonanet]

Hi,
I've just downloaded SweetHome and started to play around
with it. Everything worked fine until I tried to create
photos. I'm able to create the photos with quality 0 or
1, but when I try photos with quality 2 or 3 I get a
black figure.

I'm using ubuntu 9.04. I tried to run SweetHome in 3
different ways (with java webstart,
with the download installer and with the jar file) and
always got the same results.

Any help will be welcomed. Thanks.
Alexandre

By the way, the problem only appears when I use virtual view. With the aerial view, it works fine.

I'm having a similar, but more severe problem with Sweet Home 3D on WIndows XP. I cannot create a photo at all. For about 1 second, there is an activity status indicator, then a small red X in the center of the frame. I do not have a video card, just the onboard video controller.

I am very pleased with the software, but it would really be nice to be able to create photos.

Update: I can indeed create a 3D photo, but only at "best" quality setting (which is OK). Anything less than that, it will not work. Seems like the same problem in Ubuntu described in the original post.

Hello,

I'm also newbie, just downloaded the application a few days ago and it's great to plan my next move to a new flat It is a GREAT application!!

But when I want to save a photo, I can't use highest quality, it just starts and stops after rendering a few %

In my case I'm using a Mac and the latest version.

Thanks for any help

This is what I get. It starts working but after rendering 11 little squares or portions, it gets stuck.

Your image

makes me think about this bug.
Miserably, it's not fixed yet. [:(]

Could you try to remove the objects under the green or red squares, and check if rendering still fails?

Hi there!

I made a new project with no furnitures at all, just windows (only one in the photo to be created) and the rendering still failed. It fails in two fashions; one of them while working, with red or green squares displayed as before, or in the other style, showing a red 'x' like the image was missing.

Thanks!

Please try this:
1. Launch Console program found in /Applications/Utilities folder and click on Clear display.
2. Launch Sweet Home 3D and try to create a photo.
3. Console program should display some new text that will help me a lot to guess your issue. Please select that text and copy paste it in a comment here.

Just a silly question, does the partition have enough free space?
Perhaps tmp is full, or the path Sweet Home 3D is using for output is full?
