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.

With the old YafaRay Rendering plug-in, you had to use the lib folder of the [font=courier new]com.eteks.sweethome3d.plugin.yafarayrendering[/font] package to load the necessary DLLs.
Sweet Home 3D 7.0, uses the "com.eteks.sweethome3d.j3d.YafarayPluginsFolder" system property which causes the error:

Code: Select all

Exception in thread "pool-9-thread-1" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: com.eteks.sweethome3d.j3d.AdvancedYafarayRenderer.createEnvironment(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)J

Sorry, I forgot to mention here that I released the version 2.4.1 to fix a bug reported by Captaincook about invisible lights which had no effect with SunFlow.

EnkoNyito, I’m not sure what you want to do or what problem you encountered. Can you explain how you got the error you reported?

[enkonyito]

In version 2.4.1, the [font=courier new]com.eteks.sweethome3d.plugin.yafarayrendering[/font] package containing the YafarayRenderer.java file is used to load the necessary DLLs.

In Sweet Home 3D 7.0, the YafarayRenderer.java file (subclass of AbstractPhotoRenderer) is contained in the [font=courier new]com.eteks.sweethome3d.j3d[/font] package.

By not including the [font=courier new]com.eteks.sweethome3d.plugin.yafarayrendering[/font] package in the plug-in and by using the new loading of the DLLs of the file YafarayRenderer.java of SH3D-7.0, we have the error above.

By opening the default photo panel first, the error returned is:

Code: Select all

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Native Library C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\com.eteks.sweethome3d.SweetHome3D-cache-yafaray-64-43014161-1659389236\libwinpthread-1.dll already loaded in another classloader

Is it better to use the DLLs present in lib/yafaray of SweetHome3D-7.0 or in com/eteks/swethome3d/plugin/yafarayrendering/lib of the YafarayRendering-1.4.5 plugin?

[Puybaret]

It would be better to reuse the DLLs available in Sweet Home 3D in your plug-in, but then you'll get the error you reported. As removing these DLLs from your plug-in will prevent it to work with older versions of Sweet Home 3D, I think it's better to keep them with your plug-in for the moment.

My simple photo rendering is stopping in between without showing any progress. and when i stop the rendering then save button is not visible at this time (When it is stuck).

i am using mac 10.12 , simple photo rendering 2.4.1 .

after in progressed for couple of hours then it stuck then there is no way to retrieve photo it created. need help in fixing this issue . At least can you please let me know how to retrieve photo it created till that point.

Below are setting i am using.

1) depth of field and best quality with sky light on.
2) below are advanced settings

AA_minsamples 16
lighting method sppm
normallens.radios 0.1
remaining all default settings.

Found a bug, when the sky box texture is set, SUNFLOW engine rendering ray tracing will become completely black

[enkonyito]

@varigonda
When you click on Stop, the Save button becomes available if rendering has stopped correctly and it is possible to save your image. If not, your rendering has terminated abnormally.


@YGYL
To use Path global illumination with a sky texture, sky lighting must be enabled.

Indeed, it is more practical to keep the YafarayRendering-1.4.5 plug-in dlls otherwise it would have been necessary to create a version derived from SweetHome3D-7.0.
A question that has nothing to do. How to modify the luminosity of the sky (color or texture) as it is already the case for the ground with Java3D (3D view)?
