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?
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 doesnβt 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.

It has a Glass shader in the Material Type dropdown[1]

and for the Disney shader you can enable Emmission for geometry[2]
