Progress and time of photo rendering

[enkonyito]

Hi,

This derived version of Sweet Home 3D allows to view the progress and the time of photo rendering. It also includes some differences with the standard version.

Info: jar (0.2 GB max) , exe (0.6 GB max)

it would be very nice if we could get it for SH3D 5.2 also.

Thanks in advance

I downloaded the exe, but it says that it may harm the computer.

Enkonyito,

This is GREAT. Would love to see this in the official version!!

santbose, it is a simple warning message but there is no installation.

This is GREAT. Would love to see this in the official version!!

hansmex, it will be surely possible someday...

Meantime, this photo plug-in also allows to view the progress and the rendering time. [;)]

I just downloaded and used the photo plug-in. It is really impressive. But can we select the rendering engine or is it constant. Does it work with the advanced photo rendering settings also. One more, if it could give the total time required to render the scene, it would be great. Asking too much though.

Version 1.0 of the plug-in that was renamed uses the same rendering engine as the photo creation pane integrated in Sweet Home 3D. It is therefore compatible with the advanced settings.

Enko,

I have now installed SH3D v5.2a, as well as Advanced Settings for Photo Rendering 1.3, and Advanced Photo Rendering 1.0.

When I render a picture using Create Photo, I can see the large "pixels" in the rendering preview, showing me that this is the original SH3D render engine using the "new" 64 pixel buckets.

When I change the settings using Tools -> Advanced Settings of Photo Rendering, SH3D still uses the SH3D render engine, because I can see the large "pixels".

However, when I use Tools -> Advanced Photo Rendering a new render window opens which uses the older, smaller buckets and renders in lines, instead of a spiral. I can even render two images at the same time.

Question: would it be possible to make the plug-in use the "officially" installed version of SH3D, so that the timer plug-in just adds the timer to the original version of SH3D? The reason for this request is that Windows 10 overwrites the previouw version(s) of SH3D, and allows only the latest version. Previously I used Ubuntu, and there I had 5-10 versions of SH3D on my computer side by side, so that I could easily switch from one version to the other. No doubt this can be done in W10 also, it's just too complicated for my simple mind.

[s]Until it is possible to upload the renamed plugin on Sourceforge, it is downloadable here.[/s]

CreatePhotoWithRenderer-1.0.sh3p is now available on SourceForge.

Hans,

As mentioned in this thread , a plug-in can not modify a program interface.
That is why you have found these differences and I did not use the same Sunflow configuration (buckets order, buckets size, etc...).

Perhaps by making a request, the progress and rendering time will be included in the original program.
