Just published the 2nd series on Gumroad: https://magid.gumroad.com/l/rxutt I hope you find them inspiring! [image: b cover.jpg]

Thanks folks, the credit belongs to Thomas. The settings Used up until build 100 was essentially smoothing the finish and adding a bit of metalic job done. The flake effect in this car paint setting has a high initial setting which made the surface appear as though infected with Eczema but scrolling the value right down is closer to reality and quick to apply Barely scratched the surface and looking forward to redo's of a bunch like the hotrods and the Dusenberg ST..

Robotiques les twin sisters!

Glad to hear it @mike-amos! We have some docs for scatter or asks if things are not clear. If you like to read, the docs are here: https://rayscaper.com/manual/scatter/ If you'd rather watch, there's a short video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AM2fJPDn58o I've cleaned up the docs a lot over the last couple of weeks with the help of a friend who actually works in 3D, not a code monkey like me. Feedback on what's still unclear is very welcome. Cheers, Thomas

@Rich-O-Brien thank you sir. And you are most definitely right about the 3D printing end of it.

Ta mate. Lots of inspiration from talented folk al over this site, your good self for example..

@majid thank you sir. @mike-amos thank you. I don't know. You do pretty well as it is.

@Rich-O-Brien thank you very kindly, sir.

That composition of yours has had me thinking, a lot. With higher heat than in the past, in many of our regions - a series of covered walkways linking up the water features, would provide cooler spaces imho. Perhaps an extension of this plan would include this? Either way, your compositions always make me think and that I think, is your gift to us.

Wow, very impressive results!

@pixelcruncher Ta mate, great news and better when I find some automotive ies files. I am using colour as an emitter and point/spot lights which does not work tbh. Might be better with auto exposure deselected.

Your workflow is one of the ways many people exploring. Good for communicate with clients without starting 3D in details and applied materials. Got some examples [image: spacely-ai-standard-20260805101939-nz7km.png] [image: spacely-ai-standard-20260805101933-re0ls.png] [image: spacely-ai-standard-20260805101913-e8qr9.png]

The point I am making with these renders is, that with a SICK pc (Not in the good meaning of the word), I can get these results - Rayscaper and a decent pc will fly.

A lot more efficient than any I have been to. Last time I came across a public baths that was not a swimming pool was around 1968-9. Latchmere bathes was a huge Victorian hall with a swimming pool in the middle. The front of house had actual bathtub niches, men one side and women the other. My memory say's six per side. The rear of the building was the boiler/furnace where clinical waste was burned with coal to heat pool water and allow for the massive industrial washing machines because nobody had those at home. We had no fridge either until about 70-72 sometime. It's odd, the places an image can take us, I have clear memory of seeing old folk going into those bath niches. That and my dad taking me for the one and only time to swim there, I couldn't at the time. When I went down for the sixth time or so, someone suggested my dad pull me out or watch me drown. That was what he said anyway. Thanks for the reminder Majid, a somehow less complex and simpler time then, as you often say, may we return to simpler and more mutually respectful days with children grow up being children rather than statistics. https://www.lostlidos.co.uk/1998/06/01/latchmere-road-baths/ There was a rail bridge on the road to the baths, so low that they had to dip the road under it and every spring it would flood to about 1.5m. Not to mention autumn rains. Sorry, like I said, memories woke up.
