Phil.The given link for the video is amazing, but it's only a little part of an existant project and we don't know exactly the average in percent between new and existant. Thanks for taking a look and I really appreciate feedback, if you have any other comment or thoughts at all I’d love to hear them. I also wonder if render to photo might be very slow on android. Then an Android TV version to allow casting to a TVīut to be honest some of the core functions are missing like importing background images and all Help. Then maybe using the gyroscope and compass to view in a VR-like manner (and hopefully soon after a Google cardboard viewer too). The first “extra” feature will probably be texture import from camera shots. Given that I don’t have the hardware of a laser I might have to build that enhancement first. I’m hoping to give back to Sweet Home 3D some performance enhancements I’ve had to do, and hopefully Renovations 3D might be a channel for users to find Sweet Home 3D from the mobile world.Ī phone with a built in laser measure would be a fantastic way to get a plan started! I like it.Ĭurrently I’ve been thinking of doing what some other apps do, which is touching your phone along each wall, and using the sensors to build up an image of the wall, based on the orientation and position of the phone on each hold. (In fact it allowed me to build this app at the least.) I agree that Sweet Home 3D being open source is great, I’m a keen supporter of the open source world, and as the maintainer of Java3D I know how much can be gained from contributing to it. I really can’t speak highly enough of the architecture of his code, I’m still amazed at it and I’ve been working with it for six months. I’m certainly hoping one day I can get 2D and 3D on a split view, for bigger tablets and TV’s.Įmmanuel's excellent quality and open source code is what I owe the most to in getting this app ported across. It’s a pity I had to change the interface so far from the desktop version, it reduces the ease of use having to slide around and press buttons. But there are surely plenty of situations where this kind of portable device can be useful.Įmmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D developer Nevertheless, a tablet or a smartphone + your finger will hardly replace the wider screen of a computer + a mouse, as soon as you want to be productive. I was pleased also to discover that drawing with the finger and modifying plan is usable on a tablet and even on a smartphone, with small changes to the computer behavior of Sweet Home 3D. Phil Jordan has done a very good job by porting Java 3D and adapting Sweet Home 3D code to Android. Thanks for your comment about Renovations 3D. Now that would be a toy worth writing home about If I were to dream, imagine what could be done with a phone with a laser measure (and possibly the increased accuracy of Galileo) + SH3D and some clever interfacing. But cannot measure distances (accurately), for that I would need a laser measure built into the hardware (more useful than the infrared camera). I already use a protractor/plumb app, a colour analyzer app, a gps log, a compass etc. I am looking for a new phone (dual sim/long battery life/waterproof) and realised that there are some manufacturers that make alternatives to the run-of-the-mill smart-phones, one with an infrared camera. So congratulations, so far.Īs an afterthought. That said, I am happy you came to the solution you did for Renovations 3D, and very much hope the split revenue model will generate lots and lots of income for eTeks.Especially for those of us who are not great fans of the app-store model in general. Thanks to eTeks for never having let go of the open source model, which is one of the basic features that makes SH3D special.And also started bridging an important gap. Seems Phil Jordan has done an exceptional job.
