They keep added to this extension. Its a clever tool no doubt.

@ntxdave PBR materials aren't supported yet in Rayscaper, but they will be soon...

@Mike-Amos said in Post diagnosis.:

Produced an immediate error in windows which I hope is a transient.

When you mention onboard are you referring to integrated graphics in a CPU like Intel UHD? Or is this onboard the GPU?

I'd be concerned by the 'immediate error' as that suggest conflict.

Why not use the Preferences to decide external library location?

Hey Mike,

I have already ticked 'use gpu rendering' a while ago when the system was changed.

I just wanted to check if the model renders correctly with the CPU and try to isolate the problem to GPU rendering.

It does render for me using GPU rendering; the model is surprisingly polygon-heavy. I do see the same problem with the flames texture and the alpha channel:

I guess you are using the same flames texture in Twilight Render. I'm surprised it gives such a nice result because this flame texture doesn't have a clean alpha channel. There's a pattern in the alpha channel:

Does Twilight Render have a way to display thumbnails for textures? I'm intrigued at how it can render this so cleanly.

Cheers,
Thomas

You draw with a pencil and it makes it 3D(ish).... not sure of a practical use of the meshes it generates but it can only improve.

I like these uses of AI as a companion while designing rather than the current brute force replacement of human designers.

Please run the Window > Libfredo Settings > Fredo6 Plugins Information for Sketchucation Support menu command in SketchUp and copy/paste the output into your reply.

The result is great! Shot selection I really liked. The building remained the hero element in every angle so noticing the imported 3D buildings was largely avoided.

You must be delighted with the end result!

I don't know to be honest. You could be a unicorn when it comes to materials libraries.

Is there ruby console errors?

@fredo6 would be best placed to offer an insight into the behaviour of ThruPaint's database building.
