Hello, hoping someone can help me. I'm running the newest app store version of the program on my mac with MacOS Monterey.

I installed the 2.3 version of the plugin plus the 1.4.4 version of YafaRay. After the image is completed rendering, the save menu doesn't allow me to save the new image. It's almost as if there is a permission issue - I can only see certain directories and when I try to save to them it doesn't save. I doubt this matters, but I tried with all 4 quality settings and get the same result.

The dialog box also does not look the same as if I were to use the native functionality.

v2.3 Save Box



Native SH3D Save Box

The dialog box and the folders where you can save are different because of the security options imposed by Apple in recent macOS versions to sandboxed applications coming from the Mac App Store.
You must save the generated image in the Data folder or a sub folder proposed by the dialog box. It's the only way I found out to make it work when a user tries to save a file from a plug-in, but you can move the images afterwards if you want.

Hello
A magnificent Plugin by all means !
>> I use "CameraBagPlugin" to create hundreds of Cameras Exceeding the 50 Limit, however I must select them one by one in Multi Photo Renderer" select dialogue.

Any chance to add CTRL-A (SELECT ALL) function or
SHIFT-ARROW selection ?

Much appreciated
Vic

Maybe in a future version after studying the feasibility.

I was able to add the multiple selection option.

When opening the photos panel, do you prefer?
1- current behavior of the plug-in: 1st point of view selected
2- behavior identical to SH3D: all points of view selected
These will be highlighted.

Selection/deselection using the space key will not be available.

Works Perfectly using SHIFT-Arrows in v2.3 [:)] Many Thanks

BTW
Additional Sunflow Options v1.2 does not work with Simple Photo Rendering v2.3 in any of the Quality levels ?
Am I missing something ?

I'm running Windows 64bit, Sweet Home v6.6
Thank You for an awesome Plugin.

As the YafaRay rendering engine has been added to the source code of the program and it will surely be integrated into the next version of Sweet Home 3D for photo or video rendering with a selector to choose between SunFlow and it, there will be no other public versions of this plugin to avoid confusion in the minds of users.
However, when I have more availability, a plug-in allowing to manage the properties of the 2 rendering engines would be possible.

PhotoVideoRendering-2.4 plug-in

As EnkoNyito is not available at the moment to update his Photo-video rendering plug-in, I made the necessary changes to this plug-in to ensure its compatibility with Sweet Home 3D 7.0 lights defined from a shape with [font=courier new]lightSourceMaterialName#[/font] property.
Note that the YafaRay rendering engine included in this plug-in doesn't work with the Mac App Store version 7.0.1 and above for security reasons, but works with the free version.
