I have planned to write a sunlight analysis program based on jMonkey. when I finished, I found it worked really effective and could realize real time analysis. when I move the box the results changs, and the amount of the samples also can be changed real time (you can see in the vidwo). I think if I amend the ray collision a little, it will work faster.
I major in Architecture. This real time program could be really useful in the building environment design. I can change the shape of the building and see the influence to the enviroment immediately. The next step, I am going to mix this with genetic algorithm, make the computer generate the building automatically.
Looks pretty cool What's the hit on the fps? Also, why are the blocks 'emitting' sunlight? Are they just rebounding the light or something? Are you going to release the source?

The fps is jmonkey's default information, and I'm not quite sure about it. The fps goes down when the program is processing the sunLight analysis.
The blocks are not 'emitting' sunlights. Actually, the colors shows how many sunlights they 'block' per day. if the blocks stand for buildings, the dark red color means the area can not receive any sunshine in one day. The yellow area can receive 1~2 hours sunshine, and the green is about 3 hours. These information can make sure that every room, especially the rooms on the ground floor, can receive enough sunshine every day, not always in the shade of the other buildings.
I'm glad to release the codes, but at present, the codes are fuzzy, and all the annotations were wirtten in Chinese(I'm a Chinese student :D). I need sometime to arrange the codes and annotations.

Alright, sounds pretty cool - I'll definitely have a dig around when you release the code :)
