Rayscaper Alpha Version Available
-
I just saw your documentation on the Rayscaper website. You can ignore my documentation comment in my previous post. I think it is headed in a great direction.
Rayscaper DocumentationEven though it is still a work in progress, you should have them post a link to it on the SketchUcation plugin page. It would let potential users see where you are headed.

On yesterday's post, I should have also included the SketchUp View>Toolbars window that showed that Rayscaper also did not show up there as an option. I am sure you know (found it out) as well but I am showing it here incase others may also be trying it.

Thanks for the feedback. I thought I had done something wrong. 2020 is the latest version I have and Rich's model was 2020 so I expected everything to go smoothly.
BTW: When I comes time to document the plugin, I would suggest you look at Skatter Help. They have a great (IMO) site for learning how to used the features of their plugin.
Edit I would also suggest that you check back to 2017. I see a number of users on this forum that are still using 2017. I would also suggest you post an interior and an exterior render.
Hey Dave,
I figured out that supporting SU2020 requires another Rayscaper build (because it requires re-compilation against a different Ruby version). This is a bit more work, can you try it out with SU2021 or higher?
Thanks for the pointer to the Skatter docs, that's indeed great documentation. As you already noticed, I started creating my own documentation here: https://rayscaper.com/docs/
Yeah, I should post more renders, the problem is that I am not an artist/creator. So my strategy is to keep fixing bugs and making improvements until someone comes along and finds it good enough to create a good render

No, 2020 is the latest version I have.

Nice Rich
Do you have an interior and/or exterior model that you could render and post in this thread?
-
Here's an interior render of a guggenheim-ish type scene...
Rayscaper is still earlier in development so I'm reluctant to push it. It does have certain shading artifacts that I've let Thomas know about.
But overall I think it's very capable. I love the Polyhaven integration.

Is there a shadow catcher material?
-
Thanks Rich. I as hoping for something like a room or office setting but I understand that it is early in the cycle. Wish it would work with SU 2020.

Not yet, but it's planned, should be there in a couple of weeks.
Here's the planned road map for 1.0: https://rayscaper.com/docs/roadmap/

Thanks for sharing the release plans.
Just hoping I will be able to use with SU 2020 and that it will be something I can afford.

Yes, I'm looking into supporting SU2020. It will be part of one of the upcoming releases.
And yes, I plan to offer great software that everyone can afford. Of course with a discount for premium members.

Could you check if you can get it via these instructions? If that doesn’t help, send me a private message.

I watched your YouTube video and seems the engine is great. Just installed and seems I have a problem. Maybe because I have no SCF plugin toolbar installed.
PS: it solved, I installed the SCF plugin and now I have the Rayscraper!

It works charmingly!

Okay Rich,... I am working on it...
13% progress..
-
29% without any denoising and I believe it is good enough.
I stopped it on 49% progress and it seems good (despite without any denoising)

It's great to see a talented artist like you taking an interest in Rayscaper! I saw you sent me some feedback, so I will go and digest that.
Cheers,
Thomas
